In order to compare different metrics against each other, they need to be scored. Our software supports all kinds of different ways to score your metrics, including no scoring at all.
One of the more interesting types of metrics are the stabilize metrics. They have their highest score in the middle and are used when you want to avoid values that are too low or too high.
Our software makes it easy to pull metric data from your existing databases and spreadsheets. You decide a schedule, and your metrics update automatically.
Of course you can always update your metrics manually too. Our software can even send reminder emails if you forget.
You may update your metric values monthly or weekly, but there are many more ways to view your data. If you choose to view things quarterly or yearly, the software will instantly show your aggregated totals. It's able to do this by pre-calculating your data so that everything is ready when you need it.
Metric values and thresholds can be calculated from any other metric value or threshold. This can greatly reduce the number of metrics that need to be updated because a single metric update can set off a chain reaction of calculations.
For example, you can make a metric's monthly value be the average of several other metrics' values. Or, you could make a metric's yearly goal be the previous year's actual value plus 5%. The sky's the limit.
In addition to metric values, we also track your thresholds over time. This is important because your performance goals today are not always the same as they were yesterday.
If you look at the chart on the right you can see a spike in the background colors. That's because both the goal and red flag thresholds were increased for August.
