Choose your first product metric
Select one observable behavior that connects user value with product progress.
Start from value
Write the moment when a user receives meaningful value. Choose a behavior that demonstrates that moment rather than a vanity total.
Add guardrails
Pair the main measure with a quality or retention signal so growth cannot hide a worse experience.
Make it operational
Define the event, population, time window, and owner. Review it on a regular cadence and revise it when the product model changes.
