The One Trilogy
Is Complete.
Twenty-five years of field work. Three books. One argument, built to last.
Book I
The Foundation
The Framework
Vision. Critical Success Indicators. Modules. Performance Indicators. Critical Result Indicators. Built for real conditions — not laboratory assumptions.
Book II
The Logic
The Design Rules
Context Logic. SMART Logic. Visum Logic. Cereal Logic. Including the replacement of Time-bound with Trackable — a conversion of a completion test into a calibration instrument.
Book III
The Proof
The Discipline Claim
Performance measurement is not a borrowed methodology. It is an independent academic discipline — with its own structural logic, its own falsifiability conditions, and its own 70-year history.
The argument
Every organisation measuring performance is working with tools designed for a different problem. The Balanced Scorecard was built for large corporations. SMART was built for goal-setting, not measurement. KPIs without cascade logic produce noise, not signal.
The field has known something was missing. The structural variables that would have closed the argument were not available. They are now.
The cascade logic does not change with size — it sharpens.
MetriqOne is the natural playground for organisations in fragile conditions and for those with growth ambitions and stable operating environments alike. The framework scales because the architecture is sound.
Standing on shoulders
Bititci asked the discipline question in 2011. Garengo identified the SME measurement gap in 2005. Neely built the conference infrastructure around the search. The structural variables that would have closed the argument were not yet available. The MetriqOne Trilogy closes it.
If performance measurement is part of your work — as a practitioner, a researcher, or an institution — this argument is written for you.
Does it matter?
Measure it.
