[05] THE BULLSHIT METRICS
CRM Data Completeness Score
A percentage tracking how many irrelevant fields sales reps are forced to fill out, regardless of data quality or utility.
Process Adoption Rate
A metric measuring how many employees *claim* to follow the new, convoluted workflow, often without genuine understanding or impact.
Cross-Functional Alignment Index
A subjective score derived from internal surveys, indicating whether teams *feel* they are collaborating effectively, rather than actual outcomes.
[06] SIGNATURE WEAPONRY

A meticulously crafted visual representation of data that no one truly understands or uses for actual decision-making.
Process Flowchart
An intricate diagram of how things *should* work, completely detached from the chaotic reality of how they *do* work.

A mandatory meeting designed to 'align' disparate teams, which primarily serves to distribute blame and create more follow-up meetings.
