# Outcome KPI Framework
"Doing stuff isn't the point. Achieving stuff is." -- Jeff Gothelf
Defines measurable outcome KPIs for user stories and features. Loaded during Phase 4 (Requirements Crafting) to produce `outcome-kpis.md`. Synthesizes three frameworks: customer-centric OKRs, lean metrics, and OKR methodology.
## The Outcome KPI Formula
Primary template from Gothelf/Seiden. Every KPI answers five questions:
| Component | Question | Example |
|-----------|----------|---------|
| **Who** | Which user segment? | Returning customers with 2+ orders |
| **Does What** | What observable behavior changes? | Complete checkout without contacting support |
| **By How Much** | What is the measurable target? | 40% reduction in support tickets |
| **Measured By** | How do we collect the data? | Support ticket system + checkout analytics |
| **Timeframe** | When do we measure? | 30 days post-release, then weekly |
Formula: **[Who] [Does what] [By how much]**
Apply as litmus test: if a KPI cannot answer all five components, it measures an output (feature delivery), not an outcome (behavior change).
