Implicit measures are not discouraged
"Implicit measures are not discouraged" is one of the governance checks Auditabi runs on a Power BI semantic model. The model allows implicit measures (dragging a numeric column creates an ad-hoc Sum). It is a low-severity finding: hygiene and maintainability, worth fixing when you next touch the object. Set discourageImplicitMeasures = true on the model and provide explicit measures for every business number.
