Choose the KPIs to track every week

Pick five to seven numbers that tell you whether your business is healthy, define each one clearly and set up a simple weekly scorecard.

The prompt

Help me choose the key numbers (KPIs) to track weekly for my [TYPE OF BUSINESS].

How we make money: [DESCRIBE]
Current goals for this year: [GOALS]
Data I can easily get: [e.g. sales from POS, leads from website form, bank balance, reviews]
Team size: [NUMBER]

Please:
1. Recommend 5 to 7 KPIs that cover sales, customers, operations and cash. Include at least two leading indicators (numbers that predict future results).
2. For each: an exact definition, where the number comes from, who owns it, and a starting target.
3. Build a simple weekly scorecard layout (table) for 13 weeks.
4. Explain what to do when a number misses its target two weeks in a row.
Avoid vanity metrics such as follower counts unless they connect directly to revenue.

Replace every [BRACKETED] part with your own details before sending.
