Where it came from
A goal Corto proposed has a reason it exists. This is that reason, with the record behind it.
No finding sits behind this one. It was written by its owner rather than proposed from the diagnosis, which is not a fault — but it means Corto cannot tell you why it exists, only whether it holds up.
It serves The company stops lending its customers money it has already spent., a company goal.
What Corto read
2Every record under every number in this goal — where it came from, how it was read, and when it was true.

Why these key results are enough
If every one of them lands, is the goal true? If the answer is no, the goal is measuring the wrong things.
The collection clock starts when the invoice goes out, and the invoice waits on the despatch record. Same-day records and a tracker that is never behind are the whole of this department's part in the cash goal.
Is it a good goal
5 of 5SMART, checked against the goal itself. Where Corto asks more than SMART does, it says so — it is not a badge, it is what was actually tested.
- S
Specific
holdsThe goal names a change, and leaves every number to its key results.
SMART asks a goal to be specific. Corto asks it to be specific WITHOUT a number in it, so the target can move without rewriting what the company is trying to do.
- M
Measurable
holdsAll 2 key results carry a start value, a target, a unit and the record they are read from.
SMART asks for a number. Corto asks WHERE THE NUMBER COMES FROM — the actual record — because a target nobody can read is not measurable, it is only numeric.
- A
Achievable
holds2 initiatives are under it, and every key result reads from a record that exists.
Corto does not judge whether an ambition is realistic — that is the founder's to set. It checks the two things it can see: that somebody is working on it, and that the number can actually be read.
- R
Relevant
holdsIt serves “The company stops lending its customers money it has already spent.”, which is a company goal.
SMART asks whether a goal matters. Corto asks WHAT IT SERVES, by name, all the way up to one of the three destinations — so relevance is a chain you can follow rather than an opinion.
- T
Time-bound
holdsIt runs to Oct – Dec 2026, and nothing is scored before that period begins.
What Corto cannot stand behind
3Read this before you argue with anybody using the rest of the page. A case that states no limit is a sales sheet.

This is Corto's reading rather than a record. It can be wrong in a way a filed number cannot.
