Metric Definition

Purpose

Force precise metric definitions before interpretation, reporting, or comparison.

When to use

Use this skill when:

• a metric name could mean several things
• a file, chart, or dashboard contains labels like revenue, usage, activation, churn, or cost that are not yet formally defined
• the user asks for analysis of a dataset but the main KPI could be interpreted in multiple valid ways
• teams are debating a KPI
• an answer depends on denominator choice
• a dashboard label is too vague to trust

When not to use
