Counter-Pattern Purity (CPP)
How clean a counter is — how much of its effect is the mechanism the directorate intended, versus collateral it cannot fully account for.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Clean | ≥ 90% | ok |
| Mixed | 70-90% | warn |
| Contaminated | < 70% | 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
Clean (≥ 90%): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Mixed (70-90%): 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. Contaminated (< 70%): 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.
