1. Opening (0:30)
   • Facilitator: "Objective: convert measurements into decisions and actions. We'll keep each metric to 2–3 minutes."
2. Metric Review Block (each metric: 2–3 min)
   1. Owner states the headline (30s): "Metric: [name]. Current: [value]. Trend: [up/down/steady]."
   2. Owner gives explanation/hypothesis (30s): "We think this changed because..."
   3. Decision/Experiment (60–90s): Facilitator prompts: "What will we do? Who owns it? When will we measure effect?"
   4. Scribe captures: Metric, action, owner, due date, how success will be measured.
3. Action Confirmation (2–3 min)
   • Scribe reads back actions and owners. Facilitator asks: "Any blockers or resources needed?"
4. Close (0:30)
   • Facilitator: Restate the most important commitment and next check-in.
