How many rows should my Scorecard have?

Between five and fifteen. Fewer than five and you are probably missing a department; more than fifteen and the weekly review runs long enough that people stop reading closely.

Who should own each row?

Whoever can change the number through their own actions that week, named by seat rather than by person. A row with two owners tends to get explained twice and fixed never.

Should most rows be weekly or monthly?

Weekly, if you can manage it. A monthly figure on a weekly board sits blank three weeks out of four, so the builder favors weekly measurables and treats monthly ones as a fallback.

Does the tool save what I build?

How the picks get made

Pick your industry, the departments in the room, roughly how many people you employ and what hurts most right now. The builder pulls weekly-heavy measurables from our department library, keeps leading numbers ahead of lagging ones, and floats anything tied to the pain you flagged to the top of the list. Edit any row, drop what does not fit, then copy the table as a CSV.

Running it for the first four weeks

The rows this tool hands you are a draft, not a finished Scorecard. What decides whether it sticks is what your team does with it across the first month: who owns each number, whether the goal is honest, and whether a hard-to-collect row gets fixed or quietly dropped.

Week one, hand every row to a real owner and set the goal at a number the team already believes it can hit this month. A soft target teaches the group the Scorecard is decoration; an impossible one does the same thing from the other direction.

Weeks two and three are for collection, not judgment. Some rows will be hard to pull inside five minutes. If a number takes an hour to gather, either automate the pull or swap in a proxy that is close enough and actually gets collected.

By week four you should know which rows earn their place. Cut anything nobody looks at when it goes red, and add a row only after the team has agreed what it would do differently on a bad week.
