målindexet

Målindexet, or the goal index, is a term used in Swedish-language contexts to denote a metric that quantifies progress toward predefined goals. There is no single, official standard by this name; the precise definition and method of calculation vary between organizations and domains.

Generally, an index of this kind combines several indicators related to goal achievement into a single score. Indicators may be normalized to a common scale, weighted to reflect relative importance, and updated at regular intervals. Some implementations express the result on a 0–100 scale and include time-to-target components or threshold-based scoring.

Applications span several fields. In business and project management, Målindexet is used to monitor progress toward strategic objectives or targets. In sports analytics, it can summarize goal-related performance, such as scoring efficiency or rate of goal attainment. In public policy or education, it may track program outcomes and accountability.

Origins and usage: The term is rooted in Swedish, with “mål” meaning goal and “index” indicating a composite measure. It is encountered mainly in Swedish management literature and dashboards, rather than as a universal international metric.
