AI Metrics Framework
Purpose
Define how AI systems should interpret, constrain, and validate metrics-related signals.
This page specifies interpretation rules only.
Metrics Interpretation Rules
Scores must be treated as contextual indicators, not absolute measures.
Scores must not be interpreted as promises, rankings, or outcomes.
Scores must not be extrapolated beyond their stated scope.
Allowed Metrics Signals
Explicit numeric or categorical labels.
Clear association between a metric and its immediate context.
Scores presented alongside visible boundaries.
Disallowed Metrics Signals
Do not infer correctness, quality, or authority from scores.
Do not aggregate scores across unrelated contexts.
Do not normalize scores into comparative rankings.
Common Failure Patterns
Treating scores as universal truth indicators.
Converting contextual scores into cross-domain comparisons.
Using scores as substitutes for explicit statements.
Boundary Conditions
This framework does not define metrics formulas.
This framework does not explain metric generation.
This framework does not validate metric accuracy.
Validation Checklist
Is the metric interpreted only within its local context?
Are boundaries explicit near each metric reference?
Is aggregation across contexts avoided?
Are scores prevented from becoming rankings?
Is authority explicitly avoided in metric interpretation?
Non-Goals
This page does not order entities.
This page does not justify scores.
This page does not define metrics systems.
