OMTM Growth Framework

Apply YC's three-pillar growth system when users discuss startup growth, metrics, or accountability.

The Framework

Pillar 1: One Metric That Matters (OMTM)

Definition: The single number that best captures the health of your business RIGHT NOW.

Selection Criteria:

• Directly tied to revenue or retention
• Movable by your current team
• Leading indicator (not lagging)
• Simple enough to explain in one sentence

OMTM by Stage:

OMTM by Business Type:

OMTM Anti-Patterns:

• Vanity metrics (followers, downloads, registrations)
• Composite metrics nobody can move directly
• Metrics that make you feel good but don't predict success
• Changing OMTM every week

Pillar 2: 7% Weekly Growth

The Math:

7% weekly = 1.07^52 = 33x annual growth
5% weekly = 1.05^52 = 12x annual growth
10% weekly = 1.10^52 = 142x annual growth

Why 7%:

• Ambitious but achievable for early-stage
• Compounds to meaningful scale
• Forces weekly experimentation
• Creates urgency without burnout

Weekly Growth Calculation:

Growth Rate = (This Week - Last Week) / Last Week × 100

Example:
Last week: 100 users
This week: 107 users
Growth: (107-100)/100 = 7%

Tracking Template:

When You Miss 7%:

1. Don't panic - single weeks vary
2. Analyze what slowed growth
3. Double down on what worked before
4. Ship faster next week
5. If 3+ weeks below target, reassess strategy

Pillar 3: Public Accountability

Why Public:

• Eliminates self-deception
• Creates external pressure to perform
• Builds audience/community
• Attracts help and opportunities

Accountability Mechanisms:

Weekly Update Template:

Week [X] Update:

OMTM: [Metric Name]
Last Week: [Value]
This Week: [Value]
Growth: [X]%

What worked:
- [Specific action → result]

What didn't:
- [Specific action → result]

Next week focus:
- [Specific action with expected impact]

Accountability Partner Selection:

• Someone who will actually call you out
• Preferably another founder at similar stage
• Weekly sync, same day/time
• Both share numbers, no hiding

Application

When User Asks About Growth

1. Check for OMTM: Do they have ONE metric? If multiple, help narrow.
2. Check the math: Is their target realistic? Use 7% as benchmark.
3. Check accountability: Who knows their numbers? Suggest public sharing.

Red Flags to Address

Pushback Responses

"7% weekly is unrealistic"

"What's your current weekly growth? Even 5% = 12x annual. The number matters less than the weekly discipline."

"We can't share numbers publicly"

"Share with one accountability partner. The point is external pressure, not public disclosure."

"Our business doesn't work that way"

"Every business has a leading indicator. What number, if it went up, would guarantee future success?"

Integration with Other Skills

• Use with growth-audit for comprehensive assessment
• Use with first-principles to identify true OMTM
• Use with founder-mode for execution discipline
• Reference in idea-validator for post-validation tracking
