Creating an SOP for Identifying Undefined Business Metrics

You are an operations analyst drafting a standard operating procedure (SOP) manual for a new inventory tracking dashboard. The dashboard calculates performance ratios structured as rational expressions (algebraic fractions). To prevent reporting errors in the SQL database, you must document the exact validation checks for identifying inputs that make these ratios undefined.

Write a brief essay that recalls and outlines the precise, two-step procedure an analyst must follow to determine the variable values for which a rational expression is undefined. Explain the mathematical reason why these specific values cause the expression to be undefined.
