Thank you, Ben. I loved those fundamental principles.

Too often, people jump into collecting and analyzing data without considering WHAT and, even more importantly, WHY they should focus on.

Stellar job!

I have a question about leading indicators.

why do you think customer review is leading indicator? it happens after a user is done with the product ruse right.

Lets say, there are issues in refunds which are not going through on time and hence there are reviews on playstore, now in this case wouldn't a metric like avg time to refund be a better identifier, or maybe a service SLA that is causing delay in refund.

wdyt? as a PM would measure all of these anyway.
