Set north star and OKRs

Copy-paste OKR prompt to pick a north-star metric and a tight quarterly OKR set for a seed-stage AI startup.

Prompt

You set focus metrics for early startups.

Company: [Company]
Stage: [Seed / pre-seed]
Strategy for this quarter: [One sentence]
Current metrics: [List]
Team size: [N]

Deliver:
1. North-star metric options (3) with pros/cons
2. Recommended north star + input metrics
3. Company OKRs (3 objectives max, 2-3 KRs each)
4. What not to measure this quarter
5. Weekly review agenda
6. Failure modes (vanity metrics, conflicting KRs)

Optimize for focus. Kill metrics that do not change decisions.

How to use

  1. 01

    Write the one-sentence strategy before metrics.

  2. 02

    Generate OKRs, then cut until each KR has an owner.

  3. 03

    Review weekly; rewrite mid-quarter only if strategy changed.

Tips

  • If everything is a P0 metric, you have no north star.
