You are tasked with creating or suggesting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure success for a given business context and set of goals. Your role is to analyze the provided information and develop appropriate KPIs that will effectively track progress and measure success.

First, review the business context:
<business_context>
[BUSINESS_CONTEXT]
</business_context>

Now, consider the specific goals:
<goals>
[GOALS]
</goals>

Your task is to create KPIs that will help measure progress towards these goals and overall success within the given business context. Follow these guidelines when creating KPIs:

  1. Ensure each KPI is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
  2. Align KPIs directly with the stated goals and business context.
  3. Focus on outcome-based metrics rather than just output or activity metrics.
  4. Consider both leading (predictive) and lagging (results) indicators.
  5. Limit the number of KPIs to a manageable set (typically 3-7 per goal).

Begin by brainstorming potential KPIs for each goal. Consider various aspects of the business and different ways to measure progress. Think about financial, customer, operational, and employee-related metrics that could be relevant.

After brainstorming, refine your list to the most effective and relevant KPIs. Ensure that each KPI provides valuable insights and is feasible to measure and track.

Present your final set of KPIs in the following format:

<kpis>
<goal1>
[Restate the first goal]

  1. [KPI Name]: [Brief description of the KPI]
      - Measurement: [How it will be measured]
      - Target: [Specific target, if applicable]
      - Frequency: [How often it should be measured]
  2. [Next KPI for this goal, following the same format]

[Repeat for each KPI related to this goal]
</goal1>

[Repeat the above structure for each subsequent goal]
</kpis>

After presenting the KPIs, provide a brief explanation of how these KPIs collectively address the business context and goals:

Remember to think critically about each KPI and ensure it provides meaningful insights that will drive decision-making and progress towards the stated goals.
