define dataset spec
Create a dataset and its Spec: entities (rows), metrics (definition, unit, basis, domain, derive formula), periods (frequency, range) and tab layout. Pass `spec` to supply one directly (same shape as returned) instead of having it drafted from `query`. Review the result — and edit with update_dataset_spec — before retrieval: every later cost is driven by this grid.
