Metrics. Like...how much did the coffee mugs with the swear words painted on them cost us? What if we'd sold a million instead of a hundred? There was a union strike last month, and production slowed 10%...how much did that cost us? If we replaced those workers with robots, how much would that change our numbers?
That's the metrical part of Accounting: you measure everything. For more intimate measurements, we suggest doing them privately. Wars have been fought over less.
