- Help the team validate measurement language against JobNimbus options.

- 3Ask Notis to retrieve JobNimbus units of measure when a Slack channel message clearly asks which units are supported.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real measurement question about supported units.
