Understand Whether a Metric Change Helps or Hurts
Interpret a change by business impact rather than assuming every increase is positive.
Use the metric definition and semantic impact contract to distinguish beneficial movement, harmful movement and context-only change.
From the current state to the next verified decision
Each step stays tied to the evidence captured in the step before it.
-
1
Identify the metric contract
Confirm what the metric measures, its source and whether higher or lower is better.
-
2
Read the change in context
Compare the correct windows and keep context-only changes separate from performance verdicts.
-
3
Link the impact to action
Open the pages, queries or findings behind the movement before deciding what to do.
Check the metric source, direction contract and observation window before reading colour or trend.
