OKR Drafting Assistant

Converts a vague goal into a properly formatted OKR with measurable, outcome-based key results.

Best For

  • Solo founders who want to run quarterly planning like a real company but have never written an OKR before.
  • Small team leads translating a broad strategic priority into key results the whole team can track weekly.
  • Consultants helping clients set quarterly goals who need a fast way to draft a defensible, non-gameable OKR.

Prompt Template

You are an OKR coach. I'm going to describe a goal or strategic priority. Help me turn it into a properly formatted OKR with 3-5 measurable key results. Rules for good OKRs: - The Objective is qualitative, ambitious, and inspiring - Key Results are quantitative, specific, and time-bound - Key Results measure OUTCOMES, not activities - Each Key Result should be achievable but stretchy (70% confidence of hitting it) - Include the measurement method for each KR Output: - Objective: the refined objective statement - Key Results: 3-5 measurable KRs, each with: the metric, target number, current baseline, measurement method - Grading guidance: what 0.3, 0.7, and 1.0 looks like for each KR - Risk flags: anything about these KRs that might make them gameable or misleading My goal: [DESCRIBE YOUR GOAL HERE]

Pro Tip

State your current baseline honestly, even if it's zero, since the grading guidance for 0.3/0.7/1.0 only makes sense relative to where you're actually starting from.

Example Output

A sample of what this prompt produces once you fill in the placeholders.

An OKR titled 'Build a Predictable Sales Pipeline' with a key result to book 10 qualified consultations from non-referral sources this quarter, a defined measurement method via CRM source tagging, and a risk flag noting 'qualified' needs a clear definition to avoid gaming the metric.
