A manual handoff recipe to adapt in your own environment.

02 / YOUR WORKFLOWMap fields → inspect → hand off
03 / OUTPUTA proposed metric definition
Keep the right fields.
Manual data handoff| Field / step | Input | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Source record | Product and variant identifiers | Keep identity as strings. |
| Denominator | Eligible observations | State exclusions before calculating a rate. |
| Evidence | source_url + retrieved_at | Keep the original observation attached. |
Before you use the output
Product listings alone do not establish revenue or conversion metrics.
Check one record first.
Start with the smallest useful scope. Compare the returned record with its source, confirm variant identity and inspect missing fields before applying the mapping to a larger dataset.
Keep extraction warnings and the retrieval timestamp with downstream output. When a required field is missing, leave it unresolved or return to the source; do not fill it from an assumption.
