Helping with Adventurer Party Management

Episode 365: Metric Talk

Drop it to the level of your work to start explaining what the new management method will look like.

"I believe there are two things to focus on as a new management method.

What metrics should be managed? how we should grasp and share it early "

Seeing the bewildered look on the faces of the new officials, the adventurers and mercenaries will be used to explain the supplement.

"There may be those unfamiliar with the term metric.

But adventurers and mercenaries should be familiar on a daily basis in the form of good requests and bad requests.

For example, if you're a runaway adventurer, if you're five pieces of copper in a day, a good request for money. But if it's a first-rate clan, if it's a gold coin in ten days, it's a bad request.

For ease of comparison, let's try to fix the daily request fee.

If you are a runaway adventurer, you will have five copper coins a day, and if you are a first-rate clan, you will have one big silver coin a day.

That means the big clans make 20 times more money than the runaway adventurers.

Now I would have fixed it to daily earnings for ease of comparison. This is the metric. What is happening now? Make sure you can grab it with numbers if things are working or not. "

The same idea is also used in the Adventurer Guild report.

So I proved in numbers what was happening to the adventurer and what he should do.

Priest Nicolo has tried to make contact by looking at the report, but the young priests may not have the sense to feel something there because of their inexperience as rulers.

With a strange face, Paperino, the priest, asks questions.

"If it's a job to get paid like an adventurer, it could be an indicator of that. But is it something that can be used to manage rural areas?"

It's just a good reaction, so I'll ask Sarah, a former peasant.

"When do you know if the wheat harvest is good or bad in rural areas?

You're used to me suddenly shaking strange questions, and Sarah thinks and answers a little without any particular rush.

"Hey... plant it in the spring, you know what I mean in the summer"

"How do you know that?

"Um... when it's good, I can do a lot of wheat, so the wheat ears are much fatter, but when it's bad, I'm already completely skinny"

Nod at Sarah's answer and look around everyone.

"Well, here's a tip for making metrics. Don't you think it would help if you knew in the summer how much the harvest would be?

"Uh, right. Look, I don't know if it's bad or not, but if that's specific in numbers, that's groundbreaking. But I've never heard of it that way."

Paperino answers face-to-face.

"Do you have any other opinions or any way to do it?

Waiting patiently, Simon, an artisan, said in a small, unconfidential voice.

"Um... why don't you count the wheat grains?

"Count the wheat grains! That's a good approach. Anything else?

I praise you exaggerated to encourage you to give your opinion.

Of all of them, the debate began to get lively about whether Simon, who seemed to have the least learning and experience, had burned a sense of confrontation for being praised.

"But good wheat and bad wheat are completely different. Bad ears are skulls, no matter how many they are."

"Well, let's not only measure the number of grains, but also the weight"

"There's a difference between a good field and a bad field, right? The harvest is totally different when it's a field that I've rested on and a field that I plan to rest on."

"Then why don't you take ten from good and bad fields at a time?

"I'm a little out of shape, but I wonder if I'll have to."

"You need to match the dates. It would be better if we could compare it to other territories."

"Not just in summer, but every month, maybe I should measure it"

Mostly, where the debate has boiled down, clap your hands and draw attention.

"That's exactly what we're talking about, making indicators. Now in the summer phase, specific figures are available to predict how much the harvest will be. Follow these numbers and manage them."

Now, nobody disagreed with me.

Thereafter, there will be an enthusiastic and concrete debate on what numbers are needed to exchange new officials to get an idea of the actual situation in the territory.
