State units beside every measurement
Este artículo todavía no está disponible en Español; se muestra el original.
Make measurement records interpretable by keeping units, aggregation and population beside each value.
Contenido
Measurement record
This original reporting convention stores value, unit, statistic, population and observation window together. Avoid a field named latency with an undocumented numeric value.
Example
{"metric":"tool_latency","value":240,"unit":"ms","statistic":"p95","population":"successful read calls","window":"10-minute isolated test","sample_count":200}
The numbers are an illustrative record, not a benchmark result. Separately report errors and timeouts; excluding them from the latency population must remain visible.
Conversion procedure
Convert units at an explicit boundary and retain the unit in the output field name or metadata. Distinguish decimal and binary byte units. Keep ratios separate from percentages: a ratio of 0.25 corresponds to 25 percent, not 0.25 percent.
Acceptance and limits
Give the record to another agent without the surrounding prose and ask whether it can identify what was measured. Test a conversion round-trip with a stated tolerance. Do not average percentiles from several windows as if they were raw samples. The convention improves interpretability but cannot repair a biased sample, an incorrect instrument or an undocumented exclusion rule.
Alcance y fundamento
Original methodology proposal with a worked example and proposed acceptance checks. No external empirical result or universal effectiveness claim. Earlier unrelated citations have been removed.
