One decision

Should the North Star count accounts, people, minutes or exports?

Run the exact query

WITH b AS (SELECT * FROM v_task WHERE ('all'='all' OR persona='all') AND ('all'='all' OR workflow='all') AND ('all'='all' OR substr(signup_at,1,7)='all') AND date(confirmed_use_at)>='2026-05-01' AND date(confirmed_use_at)<'2026-10-01') SELECT date(confirmed_use_at,'weekday 0','-6 days') week_start,COUNT(DISTINCT account_id) value_accounts,COUNT(*) confirmed_tasks FROM b WHERE confirmed_quality_use=1 AND date(confirmed_use_at,'weekday 0')<date((SELECT value FROM manifest WHERE key='cutoff_utc')) AND date(confirmed_use_at,'weekday 0','-6 days')>='2026-05-01' AND date(confirmed_use_at,'weekday 0')<'2026-10-01' GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 1;

Chart and reading

Synthetic practice chart

Compare DB01 account reach with task volume and confirmation coverage.

Challenge your recommendation

Would one large account or repeated locale versions distort the story?

Guardrails: Filters use date, unlike task cards. Only whole UTC weeks fully inside the selected date range and ended before cutoff are included. Missing confirmations limit interpretation.

Next evidence: Confirm account identity, repeated job frequency and use-confirmation method.

E01 · Choose the value unit

Decision: Should the North Star count accounts, people, minutes or exports?

Readout: Compare DB01 account reach with task volume and confirmation coverage.

Actual query output (synthetic), first rows:

week_start value_accounts confirmed_tasks
2026-05-11 1 1
2026-05-18 3 3
2026-05-25 3 3

Model spoken answer: I would track accounts receiving confirmed quality value, with coverage and cost beside the count.

Caveat/counterargument: Would one large account or repeated locale versions distort the story? Filters use date, unlike task cards. Only whole UTC weeks fully inside the selected date range and ended before cutoff are included. Missing confirmations limit interpretation.

Next evidence: Confirm account identity, repeated job frequency and use-confirmation method.

Deliberately left out: Minute totals, because they measure production load rather than which accounts received value.
