Google Docs Metrics From Scratch

Google Docs has never had a formal metrics framework. The new PM is tasked with designing one from scratch. The challenge: DAU is growing 6% QoQ, but docs created per user is declining 8%. Collaboration features are underutilized, and it's unclear whether Docs is winning on quality or just inertia. Design the top 5 metrics and identify the North Star.
