What a driver tree is.
A driver tree starts with one outcome metric and breaks it into the smaller factors that determine it. The branches make the levers behind a KPI visible and give teams a shared way to discuss performance.
Use the leaves for measurable inputs, formulas, or hypotheses. A useful driver tree distinguishes factors with different owners, such as customer count and price, instead of grouping every influence into one branch.

Common questions
What is a driver tree?
A diagram that decomposes a top-level KPI into the measurable factors that influence it.
What metrics work well in a driver tree?
Metrics with a clear formula or causal structure, such as revenue, margin, retention, conversion, cost, or NPS.
How is a driver tree different from an issue tree?
A driver tree explains the components of a metric. An issue tree breaks down a problem or question for analysis.
What should a driver-tree leaf contain?
A measurable input, an operational lever, or a testable factor that a team can influence or monitor.
