Public Everscope rule

Measure without a description

ES-OWNERSHIP-001version 1.0OWNERSHIPinformational

A measure lacks a documented business description.

What this rule checks

A measure lacks a documented business description.

Everscope evaluates only the metadata needed for this deterministic check. It does not read dataset rows or values.

Why this is a risk

Users and auditors cannot reliably establish meaning, assumptions, or accountable ownership from metadata alone.

In a governed environment this can weaken traceability, operational reliability, or the evidence available to reviewers and auditors.

How to resolve it

  1. Document the definition, unit, filter assumptions, and accountable owner in the semantic model.
  2. Validate the change with the accountable owner, rerun the same metadata scan, and retain the before-and-after evidence.
