It will be difficult because of how organizations work. For example, finance and accounting people only care about shipped sales because that's when revenue is recognized whereas marketing and supply chain people think of demand sales (when order was placed). So you would need something to be able to interpret the difference depending on the audience or train the audience to be clear in their questioning.
Same goes for calendar vs. fiscal year for companies that have different fiscal and calendar begin dates. Something as simple as "2023 YTD" will mean different things depending on the audience within an organization.
