📖What it means
A registered number that says how well something is doing, with a definition, an owner and a target. A number on a surface without a registered definition is a defect, and a measure with no target cannot say whether it is good.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: App Handbook row
A measure is the number itself; the handbook row is where its meaning is written down.
Not: Data element
A measure is computed and judged; a data element is simply stored.
