Data

Five numbers every morning beat fifty dashboards.

How to choose the few metrics that drive decisions and get them to the right people before the first coffee.

Most companies don’t lack data; they lack a short list of numbers that someone looks at every day and acts on.

Pick the five that move the business: new leads, conversion, revenue, cost to acquire and a quality signal such as returns or complaints.

Deliver them where people already are, in a short message or email each morning, with yesterday compared with the same day last week.

When a number moves, the dashboard is where you dig in. Not the other way round.
