# Marketing KPI Dashboard Planner

Choose a reporting layer that helps decisions rather than adding vanity metrics. Focus on metrics that drive action.

## Quick Reference

**Key Insight:** Dashboards should answer "So what?" and "What do I do next?" Avoid metrics that look impressive but don't inform decisions.

## When to Activate

Activate when the user asks to:
- design a marketing KPI dashboard
- decide what to track or report
- structure reporting for stakeholders
- prioritize metrics by funnel stage

## Workflow

### Step 1: Define Stakeholders and Goals

Identify:
- who uses the dashboard (exec, ops, channel owners)
- what decisions they need to make
- reporting cadence (daily, weekly, monthly)

### Step 2: Map Funnel Stages

Reference [references/dashboard-sections.md](./references/dashboard-sections.md) and map metrics to stages:

**Acquisition**
- Traffic, reach, lead generation
- Cost efficiency (CPM, CPC, CAC)

**Conversion**
- Signup, booked demo, purchase, opportunity
- Conversion rate by stage

**Retention**
- Usage, repeat conversion, churn risk
- Expansion indicators

**Campaign Performance**
- Channel or campaign outcomes
- Spend vs. result

**Efficiency**
- CAC, ROAS, payback
- Pipeline efficiency

### Step 3: Assign Metric Ownership

For each metric, define:
- who owns it
- what action it triggers
- threshold for alert or review

### Step 4: Avoid Vanity Metrics

Exclude or deprioritize:
- metrics that don't inform decisions
- metrics that are hard to act on
- redundant or derivative metrics

### Step 5: Output Structure

Produce:
- dashboard section layout
- metric list with definitions
- ownership and cadence
- data source or tool requirements

## Quality Gates

Before finalizing, verify:
- [ ] Every metric answers "So what?"
- [ ] Ownership is clear
- [ ] Cadence matches decision speed
- [ ] No redundant or vanity metrics
- [ ] Data sources are feasible
