Générateur de métrique North Star
Used by developers, writers, and creators worldwide.
A North Star metric generator helps you define the single metric that best captures the value your product delivers to customers, plus the input metrics that drive it. Enter your product and the core value it provides, and it returns a framework with a candidate North Star, the four input levers — breadth, depth, efficiency, and retention — guardrail metrics that must not get worse, and an anti-pattern check against vanity numbers. Founders, growth leads, and product managers use it to align a whole team behind one meaningful metric instead of chasing scattered, conflicting KPIs. A good North Star reflects real customer value, can be influenced by the team, and leads revenue rather than just reporting it. Everything generates instantly in your browser. Replace the prompts with your specifics, pressure-test the candidate against the anti-pattern check, and pair it with guardrails so growth never costs you the experience.

FAQ
what makes a good North Star metric
It reflects the value customers actually receive, the team can influence it, and it leads revenue rather than just reporting it. The anti-pattern check helps you avoid vanity metrics like raw signups that look good but do not capture value.
why map input metrics
A North Star is a lagging outcome you cannot move directly. Breaking it into breadth, depth, efficiency, and retention gives teams concrete levers they can actually work on each sprint to move the top-line number.
what are guardrail metrics for
They protect against winning the North Star the wrong way. Naming what must not get worse — churn, margin, support load — keeps teams from boosting the headline number while quietly damaging the business.
