Do know that measurement and control of these stated goals is one of many 
solutions for which double entry bookkeeping is traditionally called into play.

The value of double entry bookkeeping's pattern in these contexts is its 
capability of creating a reusable history. It creates that history as a 
list of changing facts: subject facts assigned into an object, as accounts. 
The list of changing facts can then be filtered according to needs and 
recast into different accounting images that study unique consequences of 
future changes. Such future changes can be studied in what-if fashion 
without needing to rerun the actual experiments. In budget 
form--proforma--they can be run with no physical experiment at all.
