AMM · Model
Count a number once. Trust it everywhere it shows up.
Request accessA measure is only as trustworthy as the specification it is typed against. These are the three bodies AMM answers to, and what each one makes true about a figure you read.
Grounded in
Structured Metrics Metamodel, Object Management Group
SMM types every measure. A measure's type is not a label we picked — it is the category the specification puts it in, which is why two people counting the same thing arrive at the same KIND of number before they ever compare values.
Financial Industry Business Ontology, EDM Council
FIBO grounds the financial measures. A revenue figure resolves to the ontology's concept of revenue rather than to a column heading, so the number means the same thing to your controller, your lender and your board.
International Organization for Standardization
ISO/IEC sits behind the classification. The vocabulary a measure is classified against is an international standard rather than house style, so a measure keeps its meaning outside our walls — including in an audit.
Every figure in your business means one thing, computed one way — so two reports never disagree.
Revenue shows up one way on the P&L and another way on the forecast. Margin means one thing on a dashboard and something else in a spreadsheet. They're the same fact, spelled differently. AMM folds every derivation onto one measure, so the two reports can't disagree.
$67,645 revenue. Margin 55%. GM 0.55. Three spellings, one fact.
Every derivation flows into one measure genome.
One identity. Every report reads the same number.
The law most models get wrong
Not the same measure with a filter on it. A scope restriction produces a distinct measure identity. Revenue and expense ventilate across dozens of segments — channel, catalogue, product-per-catalogue, sector, industry-per-sector, language, region — and recursive X-per-Y scoping is law across all of them.
Any comparative benchmark that cannot tell those two apart is reporting on the wrong peer set — and it will look completely normal while it does.
A scope restriction mints a new measure identity — it does not filter an existing one. Compose a scope chain and watch the measure change into a different measure.
amm-measure-collective-tally-of-gross-revenue-stream-across-monthly-window [] …-within-{dimension}-segment. Spelling it with
by would mis-parse a filter as a ratio, so that form is rejected here.
ratio-proportion-of-{scoped}-by-{whole}.
collective-average-of-{scoped}-by-{member-count}.
a filter, not a division
The base measurand narrowed to the subset belonging to one segment coordinate — gross revenue attributed to one product catalogue. Its shape is a sum over a filtered stream.
a genuine proportion in [0,1]
The scoped absolute divided by the unscoped whole — one catalogue's share of total gross profit. This is the lever segments are ranked by.
a genuine average
The scoped tally divided by the count of members in the segment — revenue per product within a catalogue.
Conflating them is a naming failure before it is a reporting failure. A scope restriction spelled as a division makes the name mis-parse as a ratio, so AMM gives scope its own connective — within, closing on the reserved word segment — and never overloads the division operand. Scopes nest, innermost first:
amm-measure-collective-tally-of-gross-revenue-stream-across-monthly-window-within-catalogue-segment-within-sector-segment
The name spells the shape. Read it back and you know exactly which population was counted, over which window, at which depth of scope — without opening the query.
Every one of these is a real outcome the engine helps a buyer reach — not a feature list.

AMM is the Universal Measure Model. Every number in the business is forced onto a base alphabet of 15 SMM-typed measures, the OMG Structured Metrics Metamodel, and a KPI tree grounded in FIBO, the Financial Industry Business Ontology. A metric and a KPI are not new measures; they are roles layered on the same computed genome, so two derivations of one quantity always fold back to a single identity.
