Technique Extraction Yield (TEY)
The lab's harvest — techniques pulled apart and documented well enough to build a counter against. The raw material of the Compendium.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Productive | >85% | ok |
| Lean | 65-85% | warn |
| Dry | <65% | 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
Productive (>85%): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Lean (65-85%): 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. Dry (<65%): 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.
