 <p>Metric Hub is a <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/metric-hub">repository</a> that contains metric, data source and segment definitions that have been
 reviewed and can be seen as the source of truth.
 Definitions that are part of Metric Hub can be referenced in configurations of other tooling as well, such as <a href="https://experimenter.info/deep-dives/jetstream/overview">Jetstream</a> and <a href="https://docs.telemetry.mozilla.org/cookbooks/operational_monitoring.html?highlight=opmon#operational-monitoring-opmon">OpMon</a>.</p>

+<p><em>Metric</em> is a very overloaded term and has different meanings in different parts of our data platform.
+In the context of metric-hub there are two key concepts:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><em>metric</em>: A metric describes an aggregation of activities or measurements for a specific entity (e.g. clients, users, ...).
+<ul>
+<li>Example 1: A metric &quot;Ad Clicks&quot; is defined as <code>SUM('ad_click')</code>, counts clicks on ads for individual clients</li>
+<li>Example 2: A metric &quot;Income&quot; can be calculated as <code>SUM('money_made')</code> for individual people</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li><em>statistic</em>: Statistics summarize the distribution of metrics within a specific time frame and population segment. Statistics are used to derive insights and patterns from the raw metric data
+<ul>
+<li>Example 1: To get the average number of daily &quot;Ad Clicks&quot; for all Windows clients over the last month, the statistic &quot;Mean&quot; can be applied. To see the distribution of ad clicks across clients in the US, &quot;Frequency Binning&quot; can be applied to the &quot;Ad Clicks&quot; metric data.</li>
+<li>Example 2: To see the median monthly &quot;Income&quot; for people in the US, the &quot;Percentile&quot; statistic can be applied on the calculated &quot;Income&quot; metric aggregated over a month, with the 50th percentile representing the median</li>
