KPI dashboard prompt

What most people type

what metrics should be on a dashboard for my subscription box business

It works, but the AI has to guess your what the box contains and niche, monthly or other billing cadence and price per box, so the first answer usually needs another round. The version below asks for exactly what a professional would deliver.

Recommend the metrics to put on a dashboard for my subscription box business.

Business context: [what the box contains and niche], [monthly or other billing cadence], [price per box], [approximate number of subscribers], [sales channels, e.g. website only or also marketplaces]. The dashboard is for [who will use it, e.g. founder or ops team] to decide [key decisions, e.g. marketing spend, inventory, retention].

Group the metrics by:
- Acquisition
- Retention and churn
- Revenue and unit economics
- Operations and fulfillment (inventory, shipping, returns)
- Customer satisfaction

For each metric, give a one-line definition or formula, how often to review it, and why it matters. Mark which 6-8 metrics belong at the top of the dashboard as headline numbers and which are secondary. Note any metrics that need data I may not be tracking yet.

Don't invent benchmark figures. If you mention targets, tell me to set them from my own data, using [my current numbers] where I have them.

Replace the [brackets] with your details before you send it: what the box contains and niche, monthly or other billing cadence, price per box, approximate number of subscribers, sales channels, e.g. website only or also marketplaces, who will use it, e.g. founder or ops team, key decisions, e.g. marketing spend, inventory, retention, my current numbers.
