Measures, Metrics, Entities, Dimensions
The four primitives every metrics store is built on, made precise. Why a measure is not a metric, how entities are the join graph you already have, the ratio-metric order-of-aggregation trap, cumulative metrics and the time spine, and the metric DAG you never drew.
