Most HR teams track dozens of metrics but influence few decisions. The problem is not data — it is relevance. A people analytics framework must start with the questions leadership actually asks:

• "Are we hiring fast enough to hit Q3 targets?"
• "Is our DEI investment producing results?"
• "What is the ROI of our L&D programs?"
