One press release on fifteen sites is not fifteen mentions but one unique item. Six kinds of duplicate, three dedup keys, repeats across searches and correct counting.
A useful metric leads to action. Three tiers — operations, data quality and insight — plus vanity metrics to drop, a metric card and one screen per audience.
