“ONE-PAGE SCORECARD” with subtitle “Track What Drives Progress”

One‑Page Scorecard Template — North Star • Leading • Health

October 03, 20252 min read

What This Is

A stripped‑down scorecard that answers the Friday question: “Did we move the outcome, which lever caused it, and did anything break?”The Structure (Three Sections)

The Three Sections

  • North Star — Your compounding outcome (e.g., Qualified Trials Started).

  • Leading Indicators — Levers you can move this week (e.g., % routed correctly, time‑to‑aha).

  • Health Metrics — Guardrails that prevent Pyrrhic wins (e.g., refund rate, support SLA, CPL).

Rule: If a metric can’t change by Friday, it doesn’t belong here.

How to Use It (Monday → Friday)

  • Pick one North Star. Write it in plain English.

  • Select 3–5 leading indicators. Must be shippable this week.

  • Add 2–3 health metrics. Define acceptable bands.

  • Assign owners. Initials next to each lever.

  • Update Friday. Record outcomes; decide what changes next week.

Example (filled‑in)

  • North Star: % of trials reaching first‑aha in 24h.

  • Leading Indicators: % of leads routed correctly; time‑to‑route < 2m; click‑to‑trial on one‑page offer.

  • Health: refund rate < 3%; median first response < 2h.

Friday demo prompt: “Show the scorecard: North Star result, lever we pulled, guardrail status, one change for Monday.”
