Adapting metrics based on feedback

Static metrics can't capture evolving user needs and AI capabilities. What matters at launch differs from what matters after millions of interactions. Teams must regularly revisit and refine their success metrics based on real-world feedback and changing contexts.

User feedback reveals metric blind spots. Support tickets might show frustrations that satisfaction scores miss. Social media complaints could highlight biases that accuracy metrics hide. Power users might have different needs than newcomers. This feedback should drive metric evolution.

The process requires humility and flexibility. Initial metrics represent best guesses about what matters. Real usage teaches better lessons. A scheduling assistant might shift from optimizing meeting density to protecting focus time.

Regular metric reviews keep products aligned with user value. Quarterly assessments can ask whether current metrics still reflect user needs, what new patterns have emerged, and which unintended behaviors need attention. This continuous refinement ensures AI systems grow more helpful over time.
