Mesh Patrol Coverage (MPC)
How much of the prioritized landscape is actively patrolled, not merely instrumented. Coverage gaps are where new techniques bloom unwatched.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Covered | ≥ 80% | ok |
| Thin | 55-80% | warn |
| Exposed | < 55% | crit |
Data Collection
Collected by the Instrumentation Mesh probe network. Each mesh node reports raw readings at its configured interval; the relay layer deduplicates and forwards to GOVERNOR for smoothing and threshold evaluation.
GOVERNOR Behavior
Covered (≥ 80%): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Thin (55-80%): 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. Exposed (< 55%): 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.
