Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled

Definition of the measured quantity, unit, breakdowns, calculation, observation and target value. The formula and the measured result have different versions.

Why it exists Filled

Definition of the measured quantity, unit, breakdowns, calculation, observation and target value. The formula and the measured result have different versions.

Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review

  • An observation pins the method, the period and the population
  • The value is not stored as a single field of the definition
  • Units and aggregation are explicit

What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review

Must not

  • Negative case: Headcount from different countries is summed together with FTE without stating the methodology.

Note: Negative case of the research brief, not yet a rule for agents.

Open questions

  • How to ensure comparability of periods and populations?
  • How to distinguish null, zero, not-applicable and unknown?
  • What changes when a KPI gets a new formula?
  • Установить границу и решение reuse/extend/new по действующим спецификациям.
  • Подтвердить semantic crosswalk, права и source mastership.
  • Выбрать immutable refs; провести проверки fixtures до заявления о публикационной готовности.
