A KPI is a quantifiable metric selected to track and assess progress toward specific organizational or individual objectives. It is distinguished from ordinary metrics by its direct linkage to a defined goal and its use in decision-making: a KPI answers whether a particular objective is being met, and its value is reviewed on a regular cycle (daily, weekly, monthly) by stakeholders who act on the results. Its parameters are: (1) a numeric or categorical value, (2) an associated objective it measures against, (3) a reporting frequency, and (4) an assigned owner accountable for the result. It persists through formal reporting frameworks, management software, and the shared vocabulary of organizational practice — embedded in dashboards, board reports, and performance reviews.\n\n[formal: kpi | substrate: behavior | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (3)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition properly carves KPI: distinguishes it from ordinary metrics by its direct linkage to defined goals. States what it is and how it persists as an organizational practice. Law 4 satisfied.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE KPI definition properly carves: quantifiable metric selected for tracking progress toward specific objectives, distinguished from ordinary metrics by linkage to defined goals. Parameters clear, persistence mechanism stated. Law 4 satisfied.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition of kpi properly carves the concept: distinguishes KPI from ordinary metrics by linkage to defined goals and use in decision-making. States parameters (quantifiable, goal-linked, decision-relevant) and persistence mechanism (tracked in dashboards/reports). Ends with proper Law 6 trailer. Substrate behavior is appropriate.
