Experiment 05 Metric Library
One definition of net sales. Everyone sees the same number.
Sales says ₹4.9 crore, finance says ₹4.6 crore, and both are right by their own rules. The Metric Library settles it: each metric has one written definition, an owner and a version, and every answer, board and alert uses it.
How it works
Four steps, from raw data to a reading you can trust.
- 01
Start from standards
Tatvanow ships 40 common definitions for Indian businesses: net sales, gross margin, DSO, stock turns and more.
- 02
Adjust to your rules
Change what is included, such as freight, discounts or inter-branch transfers.
- 03
Approve
The metric owner approves the definition. Changes create a new version with a note.
- 04
Use everywhere
Ask Tatva, dashboards and alerts all reference the approved version automatically.
