Most under appreciated predictor of start up success is frequency, quality and simplicity of metrics reporting. Why? 3 reasons:
1/ forces you to define critical processes underlying the business
2/ forces you to build systems and data model
3/ forces transparency

One of the leaders at Tesla once told me “if you want to make a problem go away Sachin, start reporting on it weekly”.
So I did. Some problems took longer than others to solve but it worked 100% of the time!
