Hi Justin,

This is a very useful list (and you've definitely shared it before!) but
I'm not trying to be complete—the list of potential metrics is probably
endless—but rather to define the terms we use often that people who aren't
search nerds or who aren't on the Discovery team might not know.

"PaulScore' was the most egregious example—since we just made the name
up—and started the list.

Thanks!
—Trey
