  • Stop Guessing: How to Use AI to Distinguish Real KPIs from Vanity Metrics

    Let’s talk vanity metrics for a moment. Vanity metrics are what I call non-zero metrics. If they’re zero, you’re in deep 💩. Followers on social media? Sure, that’s not a business outcome, but if it’s zero, you’ve screwed up. A million free users, 2 million free users, they generate the same revenue, but zero free…
