What you'll learn

Pick a North Star that captures customer value

Use 7 criteria (customer value, revenue, gaming resistance, actionability) to evaluate any metric.

Decompose your North Star using BDEF

Break any North Star into 3-5 input levers across Breadth, Depth, Efficiency, and Frequency.

Use Claude Code to evaluate and analyze metrics

Apply a custom AI prompt to score your metric, then watch Claude Code build a full North Star report.

Why this topic matters

Most teams track metrics that look impressive but don't drive decisions. AI makes it easier to measure everything, which makes it easier to measure the wrong things. Learn the North Star + Inputs framework used by Airbnb, Slack, and Netflix to focus on what actually matters, and see how AI accelerates evaluation and analysis without replacing judgment.
