MDT / database design - simplest way to satisfy minimum 1 KF requirement

When prototyping aspects of Planning Areas (MDT / database design), what is the simplest way to quickly add a Key Figure into your Planning Area, as this is a requirement (minimum 1 KF) to be able to activate your Planning Area.

I wonder what tricks you have up your sleeve to quickly satisfy this requirement. When you are really more focused on prototyping the MDT (without a need for KF at this point).

Is an AAKF the easiest way, or is a proper KF with an easy formula quicker?

AAKF requires you create/use an attribute of type decimal that needs to be added to a MD type that equals your planning level root attributes. Plus, you still need to add it as AAKF to your PA in order to create it as a KF

You could use any decimal attribute existing, but it is still an extra step

If you really want to have a playground only that never shall go live, just create a stored KF, that just takes one minute and has no extra step

Thank you Irmhild. In my experience I can fully agree with you that a stored KF is the easiest way to satisfy the requirement.
