Technique Decompilation Throughput (TDT)
How fast captured patterns are pulled apart into their working parts — the lab's processing rate from raw capture to understood mechanism.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Fast | >3/week | ok |
| Backlogged | 1-3/week | warn |
| Stalled | <1/week | 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
Fast (>3/week): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Backlogged (1-3/week): 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 (<1/week): 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.
