Governance Metrics Tracking
Version: 1.0 Date: 2025-01-27 Purpose: Track governance process effectiveness and health
Metrics Overview
This document defines metrics to track the effectiveness of the canonical governance framework.
Key Metrics
1. Proposal Submission Metrics
Submission Rate
- Metric: Number of proposals submitted per month/quarter
- Target: Track baseline, identify trends
- Collection: Count proposals in
proposals/active/andproposals/approved/
Proposal Types
- Metric: Distribution by type (Constitutional, Architectural, Interface, Policy, etc.)
- Target: Understand change patterns
- Collection: Categorize proposals by type
2. Review Process Metrics
Average Review Time
- Metric: Time from submission to final decision (days)
- Target: Within timeline guidelines
- Constitutional: 30-60 days
- Architectural: 14-30 days
- Interface: 14-21 days
- Policy: 14-30 days
- Collection: Calculate from submission date to approval/rejection date
Review Time by System
- Metric: Time each Tier-1 system takes to provide recognition (days)
- Target: Within review period, identify bottlenecks
- Collection: Track recognition dates per system
Review Completion Rate
- Metric: Percentage of proposals reviewed within deadline
- Target: >90% on-time reviews
- Collection: Compare actual review time to deadline
3. Approval Metrics
Approval Rate
- Metric: Percentage of proposals approved
- Target: Track baseline, aim for high approval of well-prepared proposals
- Collection: Count approved vs. rejected proposals
Conditional Approval Rate
- Metric: Percentage of proposals approved with conditions
- Target: Track pattern, improve proposal quality if high
- Collection: Count conditional approvals
Rejection Rate
- Metric: Percentage of proposals rejected
- Target: Track baseline, identify common rejection reasons
- Collection: Count rejected proposals, categorize reasons
4. Implementation Metrics
Implementation Time
- Metric: Time from approval to implementation completion (days)
- Target: Track against implementation plan estimates
- Collection: Track from approval to implementation completion
Implementation Success Rate
- Metric: Percentage of approved proposals successfully implemented
- Target: >95% successful implementation
- Collection: Track implementation status
5. Compliance Metrics
Compliance Violations
- Metric: Number of unauthorized Tier-1 changes
- Target: Zero violations
- Collection: Track changes without proposals (should be zero)
Compliance Checklist Completion
- Metric: Percentage of proposals with complete compliance checklists
- Target: 100%
- Collection: Verify checklist completion
6. Process Health Metrics
Emergency Changes
- Metric: Number of emergency changes per period
- Target: Minimize, track frequency
- Collection: Count emergency declarations
Process Exceptions
- Metric: Number of process exceptions/bypasses
- Target: Minimize, document all
- Collection: Track exception requests and approvals
Dispute Resolution
- Metric: Number of ICCC adjudications required
- Target: Track frequency, identify common disputes
- Collection: Count ICCC dispute submissions
