My review
Why I recommend it.
Croll and Yoskovitz provide frameworks for understanding what to measure at each company stage. The business model breakdowns and industry benchmarks make this especially practical.
I recommend it to product managers and founders who have many metrics but no clear way to choose the one that matters now.
