Naming conventions

[OAGr]

The naming conventions are always pretty important, I wanted to lay out what we have and ask if there are any strong opinions on this.

Model: One guesstimate spreadsheet
Metric: The thing that fills a cell and has a value ('people in iowa')
Guesstimate: The thing that goes into the number field of a Metric. In the future there could be many guesstimates for one metric, so you'll see in the code base there's a one-to-many relationship.
Simulation: A Monte Carlo simulation. Stores around 5k samples and some metadata. Belongs to a guesstimate.

In the codebase 'Model' is often written as 'space', which is what it used to be called. I'll try to change this sooner than later, as I could see that getting confusing.

This is what we've been going with, though not so much with the term 'Guesstimate', which may change. In general people seem to be ok with model/metric/simulation.
