Main data fields and structure
The data in Luna is organized around four main object types: Objectives, Key Results, Launches, and Milestones.
Hierarchy
Objectives → Key Results → Launches → Milestones
Objectives are qualitative goals that set the strategic direction.
Key Results are quantitative goals that measure progress toward an Objective.
Launches are initiatives that drive Key Results
Milestones track progress within each launch
