Counter-Pattern Lines Active (CPL)
The living stock of working counters — validated lineages kept ready, the way proven playbooks are kept on the shelf against a bad season.
Interpretation
This metric provides operational visibility into detox & recovery 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Robust | >8 | ok |
| Thin | 4-8 | warn |
| Fragile | <4 | 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
Robust (>8): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Thin (4-8): 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. Fragile (<4): 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.
