Beyond NSM
The name "Beyond NSM" communicates the concept of expanding product thinking beyond the traditional focus on the North Star Metric (NSM) to encompass a broader and more holistic approach to product development and strategy. It conveys the idea of guiding startups to explore new dimensions of product innovation and growth beyond the confines of a single metric (or a few metrics), fostering a more comprehensive, human and strategic approach to building successful products.
