Metric Definition Spec — ChatGPT Prompt

Help with an analytics writing / structuring task: ChatGPT Prompt for Metric Definition Spec.

Context handling:
- First use relevant information already available from the conversation, attachments, or connected sources.
- Do not ask me to repeat details you already have.
- If a required detail is missing, ask one short follow-up.
- State important assumptions. Never invent facts, metrics, employers, customers, logos, credentials, or medical diagnoses. Use [METRIC NEEDED] or [needs proof] when evidence is missing. Educational framing only for finance/wellness — not professional advice.

Metric / dashboard context:
{{metric_context}}

Grain / filters / time:
{{grain}}

Audience:
{{audience}}

Knowns I can defend:
{{knowns}}

Unknowns / gaps:

Rules:
- Never invent metric values, lift, significance, or causal claims.
- Mark missing numbers as [METRIC NEEDED]. Separate observation vs interpretation.
- Prefer investigation plans and clear caveats over false certainty.
- Seed keyword focus: chatgpt metric definition

Produce:
1) Assumptions and caveats
2) Structured artifact (memo / requirements / investigation plan / write-up)
3) Hypotheses ranked with how to falsify
4) Data pulls / cuts still needed
5) Decision options framed for the audience
