A metric earns its place only when it can be defined, sourced, reproduced and explained. Liva 7 keeps denominators, versions and unavailable states discoverable.

You need to verify what a number means before making a decision.
Follow this route
-
Open the definition
Read the metric name, calculation version, unit and included or excluded population.
-
Check the period
Confirm the date range, comparison window, freshness and calculation time.
-
Inspect the source
See whether Shopify, Liva 7 or an approved provider recorded the inputs.
-
Read the limitation
Identify what the measure can help decide and what must not be concluded.
-
Check zero and unavailable
Treat zero as a genuine count only when a valid population exists; treat a dash as unavailable or not applicable.
