metric
Quantifiable performance indicator
Metric refers to measurement or a system of measurement.
The metric system uses meters, grams, and liters as base units.
More broadly, a metric is any standard of measurement: What metrics are you using to evaluate success?
In business and tech, metrics are quantifiable indicators tracked over time: engagement metrics, performance metrics.
As an adjective, metric describes things related to the metric system: metric tons, metric units.
