The Operational KPI Framework
The instrument panel of the Intelligent Letting Agency — and the schema of the digital twin's first derived views. Built on Glenn Flegg; deliberately target-agnostic: run it over every acquired book from the BQ onward. Worked instrument: GF_Operational_KPI_Framework.xlsx.
1What it is
- Deal Snapshot — the memo front page from live data (revenue, recurring %, maintainable EBITDA, book, team, avg rent/commission, sales division).
- KPI Dashboard — four areas (per the Grafton Capital SaaS framework), lead and lag.
- Computed Now — live formulas off blue inputs: CAC/LTV, NRR formula, Rule-of-40 (~34% at GF), concentration (≤2.8%), the deal-economics block.
- Book Health — the 4-RAG state model (the heart of it — below).
- Early Warning — pre-mortem: failure modes × lead metrics × thresholds.
- Data Map — BQ now → Xero monthly → Veco at DD → the event log from day one; historic rebuild plan.
2Book Health — the 4-RAG state model
Four RAG states per entity — Tenant, Property, Occupancy, Landlord — with criteria derived from countable facts (= event-log queries, not opinions). The landlord RAG is revenue-weighted. The cross-reads do the diagnostic work:
- Landlord amber with a green portfolio = relationship decay (the service is fine; the relationship isn't).
- Landlord green despite a red property = service proof (we earned trust through a problem).
- "Landlords holding a red" = the proactive call queue, 48-hour SLA.
Weekly snapshot grid from the DD baseline; velocity rows (new ambers/reds per week) are the trend signal. The monthly landlord sentiment pulse (process catalogue) feeds the landlord RAG directly.
3Early warning — the pre-mortem
Five failure modes, each with lead metrics and thresholds: notice count (weekly) · valuation-requests-from-the-book (a churn lead indicator) · silent-landlord % · automation coverage must lead headcount reduction · client-money reconciliation breaks (= daily red) · founder-attention cadence · GM-seat days vacant. Plus three DD-computable structural risks: landlord age/tenure mix (>30% over-65/15y+ = decay risk) · EPC D-or-below % (the MEES sell-up wave) · rent-vs-market gap (>10% under = S13 catch-up collides with tenant churn).
4Why it matters to the platform
It is also the DD instrument: the baseline census is computed during diligence and becomes the day-one operating state. See the technology roadmap §3 and the process catalogue.
