Undertow Readiness (UDR)
The directorate's capacity to act right now — the fraction of counter-pattern units ready to deploy within doctrine.
Interpretation
This metric gauges the population-level quality of attention across monitored surfaces. A declining value signals that manipulative patterns are gaining ground faster than counter-patterns can neutralise them. Sustained drops below the warning band trigger GOVERNOR's automated escalation advisory, prompting the Steward to convene a threat review.
Formula
Thresholds & Bands
| Band | Range | State |
|---|---|---|
| Ready | ≥ 90% | ok |
| Degraded | 70-90% | warn |
| Unready | < 70% | crit |
Data Collection
Computed by GOVERNOR from its internal decision log and state tables. Values are deterministic — the same input state always yields the same reading.
GOVERNOR Behavior
Ready (≥ 90%): GOVERNOR logs the reading, updates the standing dashboard, and takes no further action. Degraded (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. Unready (< 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.
