Undertow Fleet Readiness (UFR)
The fraction of the counter-pattern fleet ready to launch now — Trackers, Injectors, and Command Nodes alike.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Ready | ≥ 85% | ok |
| Strained | 65-85% | warn |
| Grounded | < 65% | crit |
Data Collection
Sourced from THE UNDERTOW. Readings are validated by GOVERNOR before publication to ensure consistency and prevent stale or duplicate values from reaching operational dashboards.
GOVERNOR Behavior
Ready (≥ 85%): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Strained (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. Grounded (< 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.
