The craft · contested metrics
Across the metrics teams actually use, competing definitions in live production are the norm, not the exception. Each one reconciles perfectly against its own source, so arithmetic cannot catch the disagreement. Kymira resolves the fork before it computes.
When a metric has several live definitions, the agent asks in business language with the consequence stated, and does not guess. Percent of what: of what we shipped this period, or of what was on the shelf at the start?
The answer becomes a durable, attributed, reviewable ruling, and the chosen definition is rendered beside the number, not buried in a tooltip nobody opens.
Two retailers can mean different things by the same word. A portfolio view that averages them silently is a number that describes nothing, so definitions never travel between sources.
346 metric definitions across twelve departments, each naming the competing definitions that make teams disagree and the export trap that makes the number lie. It is the reference your agent consults before it computes.
