From the source SKILL.md

A data discipline for startups distilled from Alistair Croll and Benjamin Yoskovitz's Lean Analytics: separate metrics that change decisions from numbers that merely flatter, then point the whole company at the One Metric That Matters for your business model and stage. Use it to choose metrics, audit dashboards, set targets, and plan instrumentation.
