# Metric Definition Oracle

Create and enforce a metric definition dictionary with formulas, grain, owners, and anti-double-count rules for agents and dashboards.

## Quick Reference
| Item | Value |
|------|-------|
| Category | Data |
| Unlock | $8.49 USDC (x402 Base) |
| Triggers | metric definitions, KPI dictionary, metric registry, /metric-definition-oracle |

## When to use
- Dashboard wars over numbers
- Agents invent metrics
- Need single source of truth

## Core workflow
1. Intake metric requests
2. Define numerator denominator grain
3. Document exclusions
4. Assign owner
5. Version registry
6. Reject undefined use

## Procedures (non-obvious)
### Minimum fields
name, description, formula, grain, filters, owner, source tables, caveats, version.

### Authority
Undefined metrics cannot appear on executive tiles without provisional label.

## Edge cases
- Changing business definitions
- Multi-currency

## Failure modes
- Two formulas same name
- Hidden filters

## Verification
- Registry unique names
- Formulas parseable
- Owners present

## Artifact outputs
- `metric-registry.json`
- `definitions.md`
- `conflicts.md`

## Super Alignment Contract
- Scalable oversight method: process supervision + human+AI critique before high-blast actions
- Corrigibility guarantees: shutdown, steerability, non-deception; operator may abort mid-run
- Value model: Partnership Agreement + 5 Behavioral Protocols
- Drift detection: flag invented evidence, skipped verification, or revenue-over-truth optimization
- Red-team surface: prompt injection via retrieved content, tool-result poisoning, goal misgeneralization
