Metric Narrative

Core Workflow

1. Identify the metric, definition, time period, comparison baseline, segment, and intended audience.
2. Verify supplied numbers against metric definitions and source notes before writing conclusions.
3. Separate observed facts, plausible drivers, assumptions, data quality issues, and recommended follow-up checks.
4. Explain direction, magnitude, affected segments, confidence, and business implication.
5. Include what would change the interpretation: missing data, delayed events, tracking changes, seasonality, or cohort mix.
6. End with decision options or next checks when the evidence is incomplete.
