performance metric
Quantified achievement indicator
A performance metric is a quantifiable measure used to evaluate how well something is working—a system, employee, campaign, or process.
Organizations track performance metrics to assess progress toward goals: Customer satisfaction is our most important performance metric.
Common examples include revenue growth, response time, and error rates.
The term belongs to business and technical contexts where outcomes must be measured objectively.
