(not-comparable) Of or relating to the metric system of measurement.
But the red planet has been a graveyard for Russian, European and American missions, including an embarrassing 1999 NASA fail caused when a computer, running on metric numbers, and engineers, dealing in nonmetric numbers, got their signals crossed. 2018 December 24, The Editorial Board, “Yes, Virginia, there is good news this Christmas”, in USA Today:
(not-comparable) Of or relating to measurement by meters or by metrics.
This model is a basic framework for organizations to assess their current state and plan improvements in their Organizational resilience metric capabilities. Each level builds on the capabilities established in previous levels, aiming for continuous improvement and integration of resilience metrics into broader organizational practices. The intention of this model is to keep it aligned with Organizational Resilience Maturity Models while focusing on metric maturity. 2024, Dawn Grzena, Bernard Jones, The Joy of Metrics: Harness the Power of Measurement and Visualization to Enhance Your Organizational Resilience Program, →ISBN:
(not-comparable) Of or relating to the meter of a piece of music.

Meanings
A way to measure something; a means of deriving a quantitative measurement or approximation for otherwise qualitative phenomena (especially used in engineering).
What metric should be used for performance evaluation?
It's the most important single metric that quantifies the predictive performance.
The insight underlying such wordlists is that frequency, combined with metrics such as range and dispersion, profiles for teachers and students the relative usefulness of words. 2018, Clarence Green, James Lambert, “Advancing disciplinary literacy through English for academic purposes: Discipline-specific wordlists, collocations and word families for eight secondary subjects”, in Journal of English for Academic Purposes, volume 35, →DOI, page 106:
Economics is a messy discipline: too fluid to be a science, too rigorous to be an art. Perhaps it is fitting that economists’ most-used metric, gross domestic product (GDP), is a tangle too. GDP measures the total value of output in an economic territory. Its apparent simplicity explains why it is scrutinised down to tenths of a percentage point every month. 2013 August 3, “Boundary problems”, in The Economist, volume 408, number 8847:
What are the most important metrics to track for your business?
There is a lack of standard metrics.
How to measure marketing? Use these key metrics for measuring marketing effectiveness.
Ibanez had seen things with worse implications for herself, personally. That was the only metric of horror on which this sight knew remote equal. It was a wall, in a basic sense. It stretched from one side of the tunnel to the other, floor to ceiling, barring further passage. It was pink. It bubbled inside, and it sounded like a hundred simultaneous cases of indigestion which echoed off the rock around it. 2023 October 12, HarryBlank, “Fire in the Hole”, in SCP Foundation, archived from the original on 22 May 2024:
As for the large number of official statements that Spain is safe, I think they are merely a metric of the complacency that has characterised the European crisis from the start. 2011 April 10, Financial Times:
(abbreviation, alt-of, ellipsis) Ellipsis of metric system.
A function which satisfies a particular set of formal conditions, created to generalize the notion of the distance between two points. Formally, a real-valued function d on M×M, where M is a set, is called a metric if (1) d(x,y)=0 if and only if x=y, (2) d(x,y)=d(y,x) for all pairs (x,y), and (3) d obeys the triangle inequality.
As we shall see, these metrics are constructed from a Green function. 2000, Lutz Habermann, Riemannian Metrics of Constant Mass and Moduli Spaces of Conformal Structures:
