The Metric Drift Audit Template

The spreadsheet we run on day one of every semantic layer engagement. Surface every place “revenue,” “active customer,” and “MRR” are defined across your stack — and how badly they disagree.

What's in it

  • Pre-filled rows for the 5 metrics that drift the most: revenue, active customer, MRR, pipeline, retention.
  • 10 columns covering source system, owner, SQL location, calculation logic, grain, filters, and last-validated date.
  • Worked examples showing the 4-7 definitions of each metric hiding in real data stacks.
  • A read-out section so you can show the result to your CFO and fund the cleanup.

Who it's for

  • Heads of Data, Analytics Engineering Leads, and VP Data planning a semantic layer rollout (dbt, Cube, LookML, MetricFlow).
  • Teams putting an AI agent in front of the warehouse who can't afford the chatbot to invent definitions.
  • Anyone whose CFO has asked “why does Finance say $4.2M and Sales says $4.7M?” in the last quarter.
