 ;KPI
 : Key Performance indicator, KPIs are things we measure that let us know if what we're doing is "working." As an example, we might have a KPI about the "number of monthly active users." We keep an eye on that metric, and if it drops below a certain point, we know we've got a problem we need to fix! (Note: I've noticed we often use KPIs to mean "targets," as in a specific numerical goal we're trying to reach. For example, "500 Mozilla Clubs.")
