What's the difference between a good and bad KPI?

Accuracy and actionability. If a metric goes up and you don't know why or what to do next, it's a vanity metric. If it moves and you know exactly which lever to pull, it's a KPI.

Why do I need a framework?

Building a dashboard without a framework Table is like building a house without a blueprint. You'll end up with a mess of pretty charts that don't tell the real story.
