Metrics dictionary.

Also called: Data dictionary, Metric definitions

The agreed definitions of a team’s metrics — calculation, filters, owner and version — so the same word means the same number everywhere.

“Retention is up” is useless if teams define retention differently. A metrics dictionary makes definitions explicit and, done well, is maintained like a product: every definition has an owner, a version and a changelog, and changes list which dashboards and models they affect.
