Metric name: {{metric_name}}
What the team wants it to capture: {{intent}}

Write a clear definition that includes:
1. The exact formula in words and the SQL or pseudocode to compute it.
2. The grain (per user, per day, per order, etc.).
3. Inclusion and exclusion rules (refunds, test accounts, bots, internal traffic).
4. How to handle nulls, timezones, and late-arriving data.
5. Common ways people would compute it wrong, and the gotchas.
Make it specific enough that two analysts would get the same number.Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
