## Description

This MCP server provides a strategic framework to bridge the gap between raw data and strategic direction. It allows AI agents to decompose high-level value delivery into a structured hierarchy of North Star Metrics (NSM), including mathematical formulas, metric trees, and leading indicators. Use `derive_nsm_structure` to generate the complete decomposition, `analyze_segment_alignment` to validate segment value, `identify_leading_indicators` to find predictive metrics, and `validate_growth_engine_fit` to ensure strategic compatibility with your growth model.

## Tools

### analyze_segment_alignment
Evaluates how well the proposed NSM captures value across different customer segments

### derive_nsm_structure
Generates the complete strategic decomposition of the North Star Metric

### identify_leading_indicators
Isolates specific, actionable metrics that act as early warning signs for the NSM

### validate_growth_engine_fit
Ensures the derived NSM is compatible with the selected growth model and business type

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a North Star Metric structure for a subscription SaaS where the value is monthly active users.
```

**Response:** 
```
The North Star Metric formula is Monthly Active Users (MAU). The hierarchy includes Daily Active Users (DAU) as a leading indicator and feature engagement rates as input metrics.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if my NSM formula is compatible with a viral growth model.
```

**Response:** 
```
The formula is compatible with the viral growth model as it captures the user loop and sharing frequency required for expansion.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Find leading indicators for a marketplace NSM based on transaction volume.
```

**Response:** 
```
The primary leading indicators are successful match rates between buyers and sellers and the average time to complete a transaction.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the NSM derivation work?**
The tool uses a decomposition framework to transform input metrics into a logical NSM formula and a multi-tiered hierarchy of leading indicators.

**Can I validate my growth model compatibility?**
Yes, you can use `validate_growth_engine_fit` to ensure your derived NSM aligns with your specific growth engine and business model.

**What are leading indicators?**
Leading indicators are predictive, actionable metrics that signal future movement in your North Star Metric before the primary metric changes.
