Domain Context
领域背景
NSM is NOT: multiple metrics, a revenue/LTV metric (must be customer-centric), an OKR (that's a goal-setting technique), or a strategy (but choosing the right NSM is a strategic choice).
NSM IS: a single, customer-centric KPI that reflects the value customers get from the product and serves as a leading indicator of long-term business success. You can use Key Results (OKRs) to express expected change in NSM.

NSM 不是：多个指标、收入/LTV指标（必须以客户为中心）、OKR（这是一种目标设定方法），也不是战略（但选择合适的NSM是一项战略决策）。
NSM 是：一个单一的、以客户为中心的KPI，它反映了客户从产品中获得的价值，同时是长期业务成功的领先指标。你可以使用关键结果（OKRs）来表达NSM的预期变化。

The Three Business Games
三类业务类型
Before identifying your North Star, classify your business into one of these three games:
- Attention Game: How much time do customers spend using your product? (Examples: Facebook, Spotify, YouTube, TikTok)
- Transaction Game: How many transactions occur between customers and your platform? (Examples: Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, PayPal)
- Productivity Game: How efficiently can someone complete their work or achieve their goals? (Examples: Canva, Dropbox, Loom, Notion)
在确定North Star Metric之前，先将你的业务归为以下三类之一：
- Attention Game：客户在产品上花费的时长是多少？（示例：Facebook, Spotify, YouTube, TikTok）
- Transaction Game：客户与平台之间发生的交易次数是多少？（示例：Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, PayPal）
- Productivity Game：用户完成工作或实现目标的效率有多高？（示例：Canva, Dropbox, Loom, Notion）
