KPI Characteristics
    Every KPI has:
    ▪ Class – discrete, continuous, interval
    ▪ Type – financial, volume, rate, %
    ▪ Polarity – direction of goodness
    ▪ Time Frame – period of measure
    ▪ Owner – person responsible
    Might Have:
    ▪ Components
            ●   Net Sales = Gross, Returns, Breakage
      ▪ Influences
            ●   Revenue :: Price, Interest Rates

KPI Classes

  Discrete -                 Sum or count or a time period
  Monthly Sales, Quarterly Hires, Daily Traffic



 Continuous –                     Value at a sample time period
 Cash, Inventory, Employees (Balance in Finance)



 Interval –                  Events - begin/end time/date

Score to Bucket
Pick a scale [1, 100], [-1, 1], [1-5]            Careful: Zero in a scale
Create a bucketing strategy                      can throw off weighting

        # of Buckets is # of Tiers + 2
        Uneven buckets influence a bubble up strategy
Forces outliers into scale – reduces outlier impact
