What question would an organization ask to evaluate Current Value?

• A. What is our current revenue and profitability?
• B. How happy are users and customers today? Is their happiness improving or declining?
• C. How many active users do we have today?
• D. What is our current market share?

Answer: (B)

Current Value is about the value the product delivers to customers right now, as perceived by them. Asking how happy users and customers are today—and whether that happiness is improving or declining—directly probes that perception and its trajectory. If customers are satisfied and trending upward, it signals strong current value being delivered. If satisfaction is low or falling, the current value is likely weak.

Other metrics miss that direct signal. Revenue and profitability measure financial outcomes, which are influenced by many factors beyond immediate customer-perceived value. Active users show adoption and usage, not how much value users feel they’re getting. Market share reflects competitive position, not the immediate value delivered to individual customers.
