Counter-Pattern Efficacy (CPE)
How well a counter actually works — the treatment-efficacy of a validated counter-pattern against the technique it targets.
Interpretation
This metric provides operational visibility into restricted-technique science performance. Changes in value should be interpreted in the context of current threat levels and recent counter-operations. GOVERNOR uses this reading alongside related metrics to maintain a composite picture of directorate readiness.
Formula
Thresholds & Bands
| Band | Range | State |
|---|---|---|
| Strong | ≥ 60% | ok |
| Partial | 30-60% | warn |
| Weak | < 30% | crit |
Data Collection
Measured by the Counter-Pattern Lab build pipeline. Each counter-pattern validation run emits structured telemetry that GOVERNOR collects and publishes.
GOVERNOR Behavior
Strong (≥ 60%): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Partial (30-60%): 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. Weak (< 30%): 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.
