Performance Indicator
A performance indicator or key performance indicator (KPI) is a type of performance measurement. KPIs evaluate the success of an organization or of a particular activity (such as projects, programs, products and other initiatives) in which it engages. KPIs provide a focus for strategic and operational improvement, create an analytical basis for decision making and help focus attention on what matters most.Often success is simply the repeated, periodic achievement of some levels of operational goal (e.g. zero defects, 10/10 customer satisfaction), and sometimes success is defined in terms of making progress toward strategic goals. Accordingly, choosing the right KPIs relies upon a good understanding of what is important to the organization. What is deemed important often depends on the department measuring the performance – e.g. the KPIs useful to finance will differ from the KPIs assigned to sales. Since there is a need to understand well what is important, various techniques to assess the present state of the business, and its key activities, are associated with the selection of performance indicators. These assessments often lead to the identification of potential improvements, so performance indicators are routinely associated with ‘performance improvement’ initiatives. A very common way to choose KPIs is to apply a management framework such as the balanced scorecard. The importance of such performance indicators is evident in the typical decision-making process (e.g. in management of organisations). When a decision-maker considers several options, they must be equipped to properly analyse the status quo to predict the consequences of future actions. Should they make their analysis on the basis of faulty or incomplete information, the predictions will not be reliable and consequently the decision made might yield an unexpected result. Therefore, the proper usage of performance indicators is vital to avoid such mistakes and minimise the risk.
Understanding how the Wikipedia Summarize Function works
import inspect
from wikipedia import summary
print(inspect.getsource(summary))
@cache
def summary(title, sentences=0, chars=0, auto_suggest=True, redirect=True):
'''
Plain text summary of the page.
.. note:: This is a convenience wrapper - auto_suggest and redirect are enabled by default
Keyword arguments:
* sentences - if set, return the first `sentences` sentences (can be no greater than 10).
* chars - if set, return only the first `chars` characters (actual text returned may be slightly longer).
* auto_suggest - let Wikipedia find a valid page title for the query
* redirect - allow redirection without raising RedirectError
'''
# use auto_suggest and redirect to get the correct article
# also, use page's error checking to raise DisambiguationError if necessary
page_info = page(title, auto_suggest=auto_suggest, redirect=redirect)
title = page_info.title
pageid = page_info.pageid
query_params = {
'prop': 'extracts',
'explaintext': '',
'titles': title

query_params['exsentences'] = sentences
elif chars:
