OKR Score

An OKR score grades Key Result achievement at cycle end, often on a 0.0–1.0 scale. Stretch goals may succeed around 0.6–0.7; committed goals should land nearer 1.0.

Overview

Scoring closes the learning loop. Weaponizing scores for pay drives sandbagging. Axiean provides metric history so scoring is evidence-based.

Why it matters

Without scoring and retrospectives, teams repeat weak goals.

Examples

Stretch success

0.7 on a moonshot KR can be excellent performance.

Best practices

  • Score data first, narrative second.
  • Publish scores for transparency.

Common mistakes

Frequently asked questions

What is a good OKR score?

For stretch OKRs, averages around 0.6–0.7 are often healthy. Constant 1.0 usually means goals were too easy.
