Somehow despite ‘Goodharting’ being a now standard phrase, ‘Badharting’ is completely unrecognised by Google.
I suggest the following intuitive meaning: failing to reward a desired achievement, because the proxy measure you used to represent it wasn’t satisfied:
‘No bonus for the staff this year: we didn’t reach our 10% sales units growth target.’
‘But we raised profits by 30% by selling more expensive products, you Badharting assholes!’
