## When To Use profit

* Compare the chain business outcome after cost-sensitive adjustments
* Pair with `fees` and `rent_paid` in chain economics analysis

## When Not To Use profit

* You need gross fees paid by users
* You need transaction or address activity

## Caveats

* `profit` is a derived business metric, not a raw activity count.
* In the backend metric registry, this metric is configured with missing-date fill behavior in some derived views.
