Write a precise, unambiguous definition for any business metric

What it is

Write a precise, unambiguous definition for any business metric

Produce a complete metric definition document: plain-English formula, grain, date scope, inclusion/exclusion rules, a worked example, and the two or three most common calculation mistakes. Prevents the "we all measure this differently" problem before it causes a meeting.

Metric definition template and reference cardGives Claude a consistent structure for metric definitions so every doc produced covers the same required sections — preventing the common problem of teams discovering they define the same metric differently months after it was instrumented.

Define Monthly Active Users for a mobile appscenario · built in

Claude should produce a full definition document following the standard structure: plain-English definition, formula (users with >= 1 app open event / total registered users or total distinct user IDs — Claude should ask which denominator is intended), grain, default date scope (calendar month or rolling 30 days — Claude should flag this ambiguity), inclusion/exclusion rules, a worked example with concrete numbers, and at least two common mistakes (e.g., confusing calendar MAU with rolling 30-day MAU, double-counting users who reinstall).

Define Net Revenue Retention for SaaSscenario · built in

Claude should define NRR as expansion + contraction + churn against a beginning-of-period cohort, provide the formula in words, and give a worked example using concrete monthly revenue numbers. It must flag that NRR is always computed on a fixed cohort (not new customers added in the period), and call out the most common mistake: including new logo revenue in the numerator. The language should be accessible to a sales team, not just analysts.
