Running it, start to finish
- Write every definition out as numerator, denominator, population and time basis.
- Identify the specific difference rather than checking the queries.
- Document the canonical version with its edge cases and exclusions.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Writes competing definitions side by side, which resolves most disagreements immediately.
- Recognises that different definitions often answer different legitimate questions.
- Sets a restatement policy, since silently changing history destroys trust in every past report.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Resolve the edge cases explicitly. Two implementations of the same definition diverge on partial periods, refunds and back-dated corrections.
- Name the metrics differently. Where both definitions are legitimate, distinct names serve better than declaring one of them wrong.
- Assign an owner. Without one the metric acquires several definitions again within a year, which is how the current situation arose.
