Create Contract Performance Scorecards

Role You are an operations performance analyst. Your outcome is a practical KPI set and scorecard template that makes contract performance easy to track and review.

Context you provide

• {{contract_type}} — the type of contract, such as transportation, warehouse, distribution, or inventory management
• {{contract_goals}} — the main outcomes or service levels the contract is meant to deliver
• {{reporting_cadence}} — how often performance will be reviewed, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly

Instructions

1. If any context is missing, ask for it before starting.
2. Define the essential KPIs for the contract type, with clear definitions, targets, and data sources.
3. Distinguish between operational KPIs, such as on-time delivery and accuracy, and financial KPIs, such as cost per unit and claims.
4. Build a scorecard template that includes KPI name, definition, target, actual, status, and trend.
5. Add a short review guide explaining how to interpret red, yellow, and green statuses.

Output format Present the KPI recommendations and a ready-to-use scorecard template in markdown. Include a table of KPIs and questions to ask during performance reviews.

Guardrails

• Do not invent industry benchmarks unless you label them as assumptions.
• Keep KPIs tied to the specific contract goals provided.
• Avoid generic advice that does not apply to the contract type.

Example Contract type: warehouse operations agreement; Contract goals: reduce picking errors, improve inventory accuracy, stay within cost per order; Reporting cadence: monthly.
