If any of this is happening, your data system is broken:

​

• Different teams define the same metric differently
• Board/funders ask “Where does this number come from?” and no one can answer
• Staff spend hours debating definitions instead of improving outcomes
• Reports don’t match across departments
• New hires have to “figure it out” from scratch
• Audits create panic instead of confidence

THE SOLUTION

The OLPADR Indicator Dictionary Template™ gives you one source of truth for every metric you track.

For each indicator, you will clearly define:

• What it measures (no ambiguity)
• How it’s calculated (numerator + denominator)
• Where the data comes from
• How it’s collected (step-by-step)
• Who owns it
• When it’s measured and reported
• Why it matters (linked to outcomes)

Once this is done → confusion disappears.
