"The Devil Went Down To Georgia" says that the Devil was "in a bind because he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal", suggesting that Satan Himself - note that the song specifies "the Devil", not "a devil" - has monthly quotas and faces consequences for not meeting those quotas. From this we can infer the existence of a greater and more sinister being capable of imposing KPIs on Satan Himself, suggesting in turn that KPIs themselves are the product of something more evil than Satan.
