Unlock Shared Insight: An Open Exchange for Growth Benchmarks and North Star KPIs

Welcome to a collaborative initiative centered on an Open Benchmark Exchange for Growth Metrics and North Star KPIs, where teams compare responsibly, learn faster, and align around evidence. Explore how shared definitions, privacy-first aggregation, and transparent methods turn scattered data into practical signals that guide experiments, funding decisions, and product strategy across stages, industries, and regions while protecting contributors and rewarding participation.

Why Shared Benchmarks Transform Growth Decisions

Comparing your growth metrics in isolation invites false confidence or unnecessary panic. Shared benchmarks, built from diverse, well-described datasets, reveal realistic ranges, seasonality patterns, and stage-specific expectations. With context, teams calibrate goals, interpret fluctuations, and shift resources with conviction rather than intuition, strengthening alignment around the outcomes that truly move the North Star.

Instrumentation That Survives Real Life

Teams face SDK quirks, offline sessions, and schema drift. Durable instrumentation uses idempotent events, versioned schemas, and server-side verification to preserve integrity. Within the exchange, conformance tests and sample payloads help contributors validate mappings, reducing noise, simplifying QA handoffs, and building trust in downstream benchmarks used for decisions that carry real stakes.

Cohorts, Windows, and Denominators

Activation rates change dramatically based on cohorting and windows. Define entry events, qualifying filters, and lookback periods explicitly, and state denominators as exposed, eligible, or invited. The exchange enforces metadata that travels with every number, so consumers understand construction choices and avoid apples-to-oranges comparisons that distort goals or misprice opportunities.

Contributing and Consuming: Practical Workflows

Whether you share data or seek insight, straightforward workflows matter. The exchange provides contributor onboarding, schema validation, privacy controls, and usage dashboards, plus consumer tools for percentile queries, peer grouping, and alerts. Together, these flows shorten learning cycles, create accountability, and turn abstract metrics into weekly habits that compound across quarters.

Publishing with Confidence

Start with a data contract that lists fields, units, and sensitivity levels. Strip or tokenize PII, hash identifiers consistently, and include consent provenance. An automated reviewer checks anomalies and compliance flags before publishing, so your contribution is safe, useful, and quickly discoverable by peers who will reference it during planning conversations.

Finding the Right Peer Group

Benchmarks only resonate when peers reflect your reality. Filter datasets by company stage, ARPU, sales motion, device mix, and region. Save peer groups, subscribe to updates, and annotate differences. With thoughtful selection, you transform generic numbers into credible guardrails that reinforce focus, minimize thrash, and invite constructive debate about trade-offs and timing.

Running Experiments Guided by Percentiles

Benchmarks do not replace experimentation; they sharpen it. Percentiles set reasonable guardrails and goalposts, informing priors, sample sizes, and stop-loss rules. Teams map hypotheses to measurable changes in activation, retention, and payback periods, then compare outcomes against peer distributions to decide whether to double down, iterate, or sunset initiatives gracefully.

Designing Success Thresholds

Use peer percentiles to anchor success thresholds that reflect your stage and margins. Document seasonality assumptions, minimum detectable effects, and acceptable regression on secondary metrics. Pre-register guardrails before launch to curb p-hacking, and publish postmortems that connect results to next steps, strengthening shared judgment across product, marketing, and finance teams.

Power and Sample Size with Realistic Variance

Sample size calculators often assume idealized variance. Pull dispersion estimates from relevant peer cohorts to plan realistic durations and budgets. Monitor sequentially with conservative spending rules, and compare posterior outcomes to percentile bands, so go or no-go calls respect uncertainty while still empowering timely decisions that conserve momentum and resources.

Learning Narratives, Not Just Numbers

Numbers inform, stories persuade. Summarize each experiment with the problem, insight, intervention, and outcome, then connect changes to the North Star and key drivers. A fintech team learned that shifting KYC to post-value raised day-seven retention. Sharing structured learnings back into the exchange helps peers anticipate edge cases, adjust benchmarks thoughtfully, and borrow successful patterns without copying tactics blindly or out of context.

Get Started

Governance, Ethics, and Trust by Design

Open does not mean careless. Strong governance balances transparency with protection, clarifies rights and obligations, and addresses representation gaps. With privacy-preserving techniques, clear licenses, contributor recognition, and regular audits, the exchange earns trust while encouraging participation from startups and enterprises whose data can meaningfully improve accuracy, diversity, and resilience of insights.

From Insight to Action: Aligning Teams Around the North Star

Numbers accelerate alignment when they are shared, explained, and connected to responsibilities. Rituals like weekly metrics reviews, experiment demos, and quarterly narrative updates tie benchmark insights to roadmaps. When executives, operators, and analysts share one scoreboard, prioritization debates improve, trade-offs become explicit, and progress toward the North Star becomes measurable and motivating.
