Did you ever see different reports or charts showing same metric (or called the same) that showed completely different values or even trends? I did, quite often. Why is that so? Well, there are many reasons but let me narrow it down to 2:
Lack of common understanding of business concepts - you can solve it with a Business Glossary, a common vocabulary with precise definitions,
Lack of understanding of data and its logic (calculations, relationships, etc.) - and you can solve it with a Data Dictionary.
You can build both artifacts in one catalog and share in one UI - using Dataedo.
