# Custom org structure with contribution percentage
python scripts/okr_cascade_generator.py growth \
--teams "Core,Platform,Mobile,AI" \
--contribution 0.3
Step 4: Review Alignment Scores

Vertical Alignment
>90%
Ensure all objectives link to parent
Horizontal Alignment
>75%
Check for team coordination gaps
Coverage

Best Practices
OKR Cascade
Limit to 3-5 objectives per level, each with 3-5 key results
Key results must be measurable with current and target values
Validate parent-child relationships before finalizing
Alignment Scoring
Target >80% overall alignment; investigate any score below 60%
Balance scores ensure no team is overloaded
Horizontal alignment prevents conflicting goals across teams
Team Configuration
Configure teams to match your actual org structure
Adjust contribution percentages based on team size
Platform/Infrastructure teams often support all objectives
Specialized teams (ML, Data) may only support relevant objectives
