Metrics and provenance

An analyst compares kitchen partner performance over a reporting period. The analyst checks snapshot coverage, the metric definition and the result status before using the value. A suppressed or invalid result stays visible with its reason instead of being presented as a normal calculation. The work starts with metric grain and aggregation method. Those details let the next person open the same order or partner context instead of relying on a message thread. The team then checks observation period, snapshot coverage and source row count. The important decision is whether a reported value has a reviewed definition and a valid result state.

The records here separate an operating fact from its review. An order can have a status, an observation can have an outcome, and a run can have an execution result. Each answers a different question. When the team sees a stale snapshot or invalid result, it keeps the definition version and result reason beside the source order so a later reviewer can reconstruct what happened.

• Identify the source. Start from metric grain and aggregation method and keep the related organization, partner and order visible.
• Check the decision. Review observation period, snapshot coverage and source row count before a result is used.
• Keep the trail. Record the definition version and result reason with the same source identity when a question needs investigation.

Agree the metric grain, unit, aggregation method and definition version before reading a result. Metrics Analyst should compare observation periods with snapshot coverage and freshness. A result marked Suppressed or Invalid needs its reason and source row count beside the value.

Give the Metrics Analyst a definition with a grain and aggregation method. Walk through an accepted case and a stale snapshot or invalid result. Check that the person responsible for the next step can find the linked source record and its current status. Keep earlier revisions, outcomes and reasons available when the team investigates a change.

An analyst compares kitchen partner performance over a reporting period. The analyst checks snapshot coverage, the metric definition and the result status before using the value. A suppressed or invalid result stays visible with its reason instead of being presented as a normal calculation. Ask Metrics Analyst to open the definition, source observation and snapshot that support the result. Compare the reporting period with coverage dates and read the result status and reason. Do not present a suppressed or invalid value as a normal calculated result.

Rehearse the case with a returned or uncertain outcome as well. The team should keep that result visible, assign an action with a due date where needed, and close the action with a resolution that points back to the order. The order trail should still show what happened before the correction.

• Result Validity — Separate calculated results from suppressed or invalid ones.
• Metric Review Inbox — Find draft metric definitions awaiting review of grain and method.

Follow the worked process and agree the implementation sequence before the first operating cycle.
