Description

Metric Definition Retrieval uses AI to surface authoritative metric definitions, enabling consistent analytics, by retrieving definitions from catalogs, semantic layers, and dictionaries, across analytics delivery and data products.

Business Problem

Analysts and business users cannot find authoritative metric definitions, so the same KPI is calculated different ways across reports. The inconsistency erodes trust in analytics and triggers reconciliation fire drills.

Solution

The AI performs retrieval over metric catalogs, semantic layers, data dictionaries, and prior analyses, returning the authoritative definition and lineage for a requested metric.

Expected Value

Shortens metric lookup time and reduces conflicting metric definitions across reports.

Prerequisites
  • Historical metric catalogs, semantic layers, data dictionaries, and prior analyses are available with stable identifiers and sufficient coverage for the target workflow.
  • Source systems for analytics delivery and data product workflows expose the required records through a repeatable export or service interface.
  • A named business owner exists to review cited metric definitions and confirm the action workflow.
