SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Proposes a clear mechanism to create new KPI, metric, or event definitions for Flintmere when existing metrics cannot answer a recurring question or adequately support decisions around new features, activation, or retention strategies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Propose a new metric definition with name, formula, source, owner, refresh cadence, decision informed, and PII risk.
  • Validate definitions against the data-intelligence catalog and data-sources to ensure feasibility and alignment.
  • Produce a specification that engineering can instrument, while ensuring no direct instrumentation is performed within this skill.

Quick Start

Draft a complete metric proposal following the catalog format and submit it for sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions about define-metric

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I define a new KPI metric when existing data sources cannot answer a recurring question?

To define a new KPI metric, you propose a complete specification covering name, formula, source, owner, refresh cadence, decision informed, and PII risk. This ensures the metric definition lands in the data-intelligence metric catalog for alignment.

What information is required for a metric definition in a data catalog?

A metric definition requires the metric name, calculation formula, data source, owner, refresh cadence, the decision it informs, and associated PII risk. These fields validate the metric against existing data sources before engineering handles instrumentation.

How do I propose an event for feature launch instrumentation planning?

You propose an event for feature launch instrumentation by drafting a specification that defines the event's name, source, and decision informed. The specification is submitted for sign-off so engineering can instrument it without direct implementation in this stage.

Does metric definition handle data instrumentation directly?

Metric definition does not handle data instrumentation directly. It produces a specification that engineering can instrument, ensuring the definition is validated against the data catalog and data sources for feasibility and alignment first.

Can I use metric definition for activation and retention metrics?

Yes, you can use metric definition for activation and retention metrics. The scope applies to these metrics alongside feature launches, ensuring recurring questions are answered by definitions that include formula, source, and PII risk assessment.

Why validate a proposed metric against the data-intelligence catalog?

Validating a proposed metric against the data-intelligence catalog ensures feasibility and alignment with existing data sources. It prevents duplicate metrics and confirms the definition is ready for engineering instrumentation and catalog sign-off.
