BEFORE YOU START
  Principles to translate: _______________________________
  Date: _______________  Facilitator: _____________________
  Analytics partner present: Y / N
  Current KPIs available: ________________________________

  Rule: Prefer leading indicators over lagging indicators.
  Limit to 1–2 metrics per principle.

⚠ Do not run this session without agreed experience principles.
  If principles don't exist yet, run the Experience Principles
  workshop first (discoverywaypoint.com/techniques/experience-principles-workshop)

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
STEP 1 — SELECT PRINCIPLES  [0–15 min]
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Choose 3–5 principles for metric translation this session.

  Selected principles:
  1. ______________________________________________________
  2. ______________________________________________________
  3. ______________________________________________________
  4. ______________________________________________________
  5. ______________________________________________________

  WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE IN BEHAVIOR?
  "When this principle is working, users/teams will __________
  ________________________________________________________"

  Leading indicator (early signal this is working):
  Metric: _______________________________________________
  How measured: _________________________________________
  Data available? Y / N | Source: _______________________
  Baseline: ___________________  Target: ________________

  Lagging indicator (confirms the principle at scale):
  Metric: _______________________________________________
  How measured: _________________________________________
  Data available? Y / N | Source: _______________________
  Baseline: ___________________  Target: ________________

  ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

⚠ If a metric has no data source — it's not a metric yet.
  Either find the source or replace with one you can actually track.

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
QUALITY CHECK
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  ☐ Every metric has a data source
  ☐ Each principle has at least one leading indicator
  ☐ No more than 2 metrics per principle
  ☐ Every metric has a named owner and review cadence
  ☐ Metrics are accessible — not theoretical
