Pin down what this metric actually means

When two teams report different numbers for the same thing and both are right.

Write a precise definition for the metric below.

Specify: the exact population counted, inclusion and exclusion rules, the date field it hangs on, how partial periods are handled, how it treats reopened or amended records, and what makes it move that should not.

Then list the three most likely ways two people would compute it differently, and pick one as canonical with a reason.

Metric:

Making it yours

  • Paste your own material where the prompt asks for it. Everything above that line is instruction, not content.
  • Delete any rule that does not apply to you. A shorter prompt that fits beats a thorough one that does not.
  • If the answer comes back vague, add a line saying what you do not want. Constraints work better than encouragement.

Reports and forecasting. Turning a question about the business into a report, a query, or a number you can defend.
