Counter-Ops Closed (OPC)
Throughput of the counter-ops pipeline — how many cases the directorate brings to a close each quarter.
Interpretation
Counter-operations metrics track the volume, velocity, and effectiveness of active interventions. These numbers reflect real-world deployments — every counter-op has a human lead, a defined scope, and a rules-of-engagement framework. Overstretch (more ops than operators can manage) is as dangerous as under-response.
Formula
Thresholds & Bands
| Band | Range | State |
|---|---|---|
| On pace | >6/quarter | ok |
| Slow | 3-6/quarter | warn |
| Stalled | <3/quarter | crit |
Data Collection
Reported by field operators via the secure dispatch channel. Each update is signed, timestamped, and logged to the evidence chain before being reflected in dashboards.
GOVERNOR Behavior
On pace (>6/quarter): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Slow (3-6/quarter): GOVERNOR escalates to an advisory notification. The on-duty watch officer receives an alert, and the metric is flagged in the next Steward briefing if the condition persists for two consecutive reporting periods. Stalled (<3/quarter): GOVERNOR triggers an immediate escalation. The Steward is notified directly, the relevant department head is paged, and all related dashboards enter amber-alert mode until the reading recovers above the warning threshold.
