    "description": "The average contract value reported in the PRIOR period — the comparison anchor for the current `customers.avg_contract_value`. The board reads the two together to render the ACV trend chip on the bespoke customers card (delta + direction) without recomputing it. Common pitfall: comparing a prior new-logo ACV to a current blended-base ACV — keep the population definition identical across the two periods or the trend is an artifact.",

    "whyItMatters": "Lets the board read ACV direction at a glance — the single most useful framing of an ACV number is its own trajectory.",
    "interpretationGuidance": "Only meaningful when the population definition matches the current-period ACV. A large jump usually reflects mix shift (a few large enterprise signings), not a uniform price increase.",
