Primary Metric
The single declared metric that anchors an analysis before secondary context fields are added.
Game Families glossary term
Primary metric declaration anchors every analysis before secondary context fields are added.
Why It Matters
Ambiguous questions become error-prone unless primary metric is named first.
How Stepzero Uses It
Stepzero requires primary metric declaration in Oracle and report logic before generating numeric conclusions.
Example
A question should specify whether it is asking about drought depth, frequency, rank, or another primary metric.
