Metrics Memory

Last updated: March 5, 2026

UpdatePilot remembers your metrics from previous updates, making each subsequent update faster and more insightful.

How It Works

When you enter metrics in the update wizard, UpdatePilot stores them along with the update period. The next time you write an update, these values become the baseline for month-over-month comparisons.

Month-Over-Month Changes

If a metric was included in your last update, UpdatePilot automatically calculates the change:

  • Percentage change — Shown next to each metric (e.g., "+15%", "-8%").
  • Direction — Positive changes are highlighted as growth; negative changes are flagged.
  • AI context — The AI drafting engine uses these trends to write informed commentary ("MRR grew 15% month-over-month, driven by enterprise expansion").

Trends Over Time

Metrics build a history across all your updates. This history enables:

  • Trend-aware drafting — The AI can reference multi-month trajectories, not just month-over-month changes.
  • Display types — Choose bar chart or line chart to visualize a metric's history in your update.

Tips

  • Use consistent metric names across updates so UpdatePilot can track them accurately.
  • If you rename a metric, the history for the old name won't carry over automatically.
  • Enter all key metrics every period, even if they haven't changed — this maintains a complete history for trends.
