Give Claude your metric definitions permanently
Store how your metrics are actually defined so analysis stops using the obvious interpretation.
What this prompt helps you do
A Project knowledge set with each metric's definition, calculation, exclusions, caveats, and known distortions.
When to use it
Analyses keep using plausible but wrong definitions of your core metrics.
What to prepare
The goal, relevant source material, constraints, examples, and the decision or action this should support.
How to get a strong result
Record the exclusions and the known distortions; those are what separate your definition from the generic one.
How to use this prompt
Replace each placeholder with accurate context. Paste the complete prompt into Claude, review the response critically, resolve important questions, and use it as a considered input to the next decision—not as an unchecked final answer.
