Your starting prompt.

Inspect [business report] and trace each material metric to its documented definition, reporting period, denominator and source query or Model. Compare the report wording with the calculation where available. Produce a traceability table that distinguishes confirmed links from inferred or missing ones. Identify what the metric owner must clarify before reuse. Do not imply lineage is complete when a query or source is unavailable.
