# Marketing Analytics Metric Consistency Note

## Inputs
A metric dictionary, dated dashboards, attribution rules and the owner-approved reporting window.

## Workflow
1. List compared metrics with their definitions.
2. Check each dashboard for matching windows and attribution.
3. Separate definition mismatches from arithmetic errors.
4. Return a consistency note without rewriting historic results.

## Output contract
Metric | definition | window | attribution | mismatch type | owner

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional dashboard: 10 metrics; 6 use matching definitions and windows, 3 use different attribution windows and 1 has an arithmetic error. Report 4 review items, with only 1 arithmetic error.

## Review gates
Different attribution is not necessarily wrong. Preserve the original numbers and identify the definitions needed for a fair comparison.
