Baseline Metrics.

Pre-sprint measurement of the current workflow: cycle time, throughput, error rate, cost, and stakeholder satisfaction. Establishes the line that Week 10 will measure against.

Paired with the Workflow Audit and the Outcome Report. If baseline is absent, the sprint has nothing to prove.

DATA QUALITY & ASSUMPTIONS
Document any assumptions, data gaps, or caveats about the baseline numbers above.
This section feeds directly into the Discovery Report and informs the Gate 1 decision.
Assumption 1: [e.g., 'Error rate based on 4-week sample — seasonal variance not captured']
Assumption 2: [e.g., 'Cost-per-unit excludes overhead — direct labor and tools only']
Assumption 3: [e.g., 'Wait times estimated by operators, not measured via stopwatch']
Data Gaps: [List any metrics you couldn't measure and why]
