description	Define and validate a North Star Metric and its supporting inputs.

North Star Metric

When to use

• Use when the task clearly matches this PM activity.
• Use when a structured answer is more useful than a generic brainstorm.
• Use when the user needs explicit trade-offs, implications, or next steps.

Instructions

1. Clarify the goal, user, or decision context.
2. Use the skill-specific lens below to structure the work.
3. Make assumptions explicit instead of hiding them.
4. End with a practical recommendation or next step.

Skill-specific lens

1. State the core user value delivered repeatedly.
2. Propose a primary metric that reflects that value.
3. List supporting input metrics and guardrails.
4. Note limits or failure modes of the metric.

Output

• Core user value
• North Star Metric
• Supporting metrics
• Guardrails
• Rationale
