Your prompt

Help [your company] choose its North Star metric. Current metrics: [paste them]. Evaluate candidate metrics against three tests: does it reflect customer value (not just activity)? Can the whole company influence it? Is it a leading indicator of revenue? Score the top 3 candidates, pick one, and define it precisely - formula, data source, and cadence. Then build the input-metric tree: the 3-5 drivers that move the North Star and which team owns each. Finish by naming the metric we must STOP optimizing because it conflicts with the North Star.

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
