Section 1
The OKR drafting trap
OKRs that say 'improve customer experience' are wishes. OKRs that say 'reduce P1 ticket median resolution from 4h to 90min' are commitments. AI is great at converting wishes into commitments — but only after a human supplies the strategic context the AI can't infer.
The brief AI needs from you
- 1The objective in plain English (the wish)
- 2Last quarter's actual numbers — what is the baseline?
- 3Constraints: hiring freeze, budget, regulatory limits
- 4What 'success' would look like at end-of-quarter
- 5What you do NOT want to optimize at the expense of
Gaming-resistance is the new hard part
Any KR you can't game is rare. Force the model to surface the gaming risk for every KR — 'this could be hit by lowering the bar for what counts as a P1.' If the model can think of the gaming move, your team will too.
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: AI compresses OKR drafting time by an order of magnitude. The strategic choice still belongs to humans.
