Metric Policies

Metric standards are maintained by the Metrics Standardization Group (MSG) (link to contact information).

How to get more information

The canonical source of truth for metric definitions and metadata is Metric Hub, a repository of metric, data source, and segment definitions that are reviewed before merging. See the Metric Hub concepts page for more.

Supporting metric information can also be found on the Metrics Inventory page in Confluence (Mozilla LDAP required).

How to propose a new standard metric, criteria, or dimensions

How to propose a change to a standards

Metric definitions are not deleted once added to Metric Hub; other tools and configurations may still reference them. To retire a metric, set deprecated = true on its definition instead of removing it. See the Metric Hub concepts page for details.

Recommendations around citing standards for presentations to senior audiences

Something about how all metrics presented should have references to definitions here or explanations as to why a nonstandard metric was used.
