Daniel raised a good point: "From the perspective of a user of the Scenario Explorer, they will find both "Unemployment" (in millions) and "Unemployment (Rate)" (in %) useful, so we should provide both". So my final suggestion would be to remain exhaustive, and provide explicitly in the definition the corresponding numerator and denominator, and add new variables defining denominators each time a "Rate" / "Share" variable is defined. This would give for the example:

I agree with @danielhuppmann, shares/rates are useful for users in the Explorer as metrics and with @FlorianLeblancDr on detailed definitions of numerator and denominator. I think it would be useful to have a summary (or adding labels/tiers) of all the |
