Minimal working example:

# Select relevant, measurable KPIs

class KPISelection:
    KPI_CRITERIA = {
        'Relevant': 'Directly aligned with business strategy',
        'Measurable': 'Can be quantified and tracked',
        'Actionable': 'Team can influence the metric',
        'Timely': 'Measured frequently (daily/weekly)',
        'Bounded': 'Has clear target/threshold',
        'Simple': 'Easy to understand'
    }

    def identify_business_goals(self):
        """Map goals to KPIs"""
        return {
            'Revenue Growth': [
                'Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)',
                'Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)',
                'Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)',
                'Average Revenue Per User (ARPU)'
            ],
            'Customer Acquisition': [
                'Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)',
                'Conversion Rate',
                'Traffic to Lead Rate',
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
