The Yield.
Measure the strategy by the future enterprise value and the net proceeds it yields.
Most growth strategies are judged by the spending decisions of the next year or two. The sharper measure is the yield: the future enterprise value the strategy produces, and the net proceeds the owner actually harvests at the event. Shifting the target point from near-term activity to realized yield changes every decision in between - because a strategy optimized for this quarter and a strategy optimized for the eventual number are rarely the same strategy.
The institutional brain.
Public companies and sophisticated investors are wired to think in yield - future enterprise value and net proceeds - because they live in those waters. Many private companies have not built that brain yet, and often do not realize it until the window to act has closed. The yield is the recognition that value is measured at the end, and engineered from the beginning.
