# XXIV. FORMULA

## 24.1 DDPGF Metrics Doctrine

### 24.1.1 Metrics as learning, not ranking.

Metrics under the Distributed Digital Public Goods Framework shall be used to support learning, stewardship, correction, reuse, accessibility, localization, public-safe release, digital resilience, support planning, National Portfolio development, Nexus Universe preparation, and lawful handoff context. Metrics shall measure the health and maturity of digital public-good objects and workflows within recorded scope; they shall not be used to rank countries, communities, providers, sponsors, public authorities, contributors, learners, institutions, national portfolios, or lawful handoff recipients by default.

DDPGF metrics shall be interpreted as operating intelligence. They shall identify gaps, bottlenecks, risks, support needs, correction needs, reuse patterns, accessibility needs, localization needs, security review needs, public-safe release needs, and archive needs. They shall not become reputation scores, country rankings, provider ratings, investment signals, insurance scores, procurement scores, public authority performance measures, community rankings, social scores, or automated decision inputs.

### 24.1.2 Metrics as public-good system health.

DDPGF metrics shall evaluate whether the digital public-good system is healthy, trustworthy, reusable, accessible, secure, privacy-preserving, public-safe, correctable, localized, interoperable, supportable, discoverable, status-true, and archive-ready. System-health metrics may assess object completeness, metadata completeness, review completion, Registry status completeness, Marketplace listing quality, software release quality, data quality, model governance completeness, security review completion, accessibility completion, localization completion, public-safe release rate, correction velocity, deprecation discipline, and archive integrity.

Public-good system health shall not mean market success, commercial traction, investment readiness, procurement suitability, financeability, public authority adoption, provider validation, or execution readiness. A healthy DDPGF object is one that is accurately recorded, bounded, maintained or clearly unsupported, reviewable, correctable, and safe within its stated scope.

### 24.1.3 Metrics as reuse intelligence.

DDPGF metrics may measure reuse intelligence, including discovery, citation, download, fork, localization, translation, learning use, Studio use, Campaign use, Foundry reuse, Marketplace interest, Registry linkage, Report citation, National Portfolio reuse, Nexus Universe routing, handoff-context relevance, support requests, feature requests, bug reports, translation requests, accessibility requests, and correction requests. Reuse intelligence shall help stewards understand which objects are useful, which objects need support, which objects require localization, which objects generate dependency risk, and which objects should be retired or archived.

Reuse intelligence shall not be treated as endorsement, approval, procurement demand, finance interest, market validation, provider validation, public authority adoption, community consent, deployment readiness, or execution authority. High reuse may increase review priority, but it shall not convert a digital object into an approved or certified object.

### 24.1.4 Metrics as correction signals.

DDPGF metrics shall be used to identify correction signals, including high issue volume, repeated defects, outdated dependencies, stale data, model drift, public-safe errors, accessibility gaps, localization errors, license conflicts, data-use label errors, AI-use label errors, security review gaps, vulnerability exposure, broken links, unsupported objects, unarchived deprecated objects, Marketplace mislistings, Registry status inconsistencies, and handoff package defects. Correction signals shall trigger review, triage, patch, erratum, addendum, revision, downgrade, suspension, withdrawal, recall, deprecation, archive, or non-continuation as appropriate.

Correction metrics shall be treated as trust-preserving indicators. They shall not be suppressed to protect reputation, sponsor relationships, provider relationships, public visibility, Nexus Universe presentation, Marketplace discovery, or handoff momentum.

### 24.1.5 Metrics without country ranking.

DDPGF metrics shall not rank countries, regions, cities, communities, National Nodes, National Portfolios, public authorities, national repositories, national campaigns, national DRI contributions, national Observatory nodes, or national digital-public-good maturity by default. National metrics may support internal learning, National Portfolio development, public-safe reporting, capability mapping, accessibility planning, localization planning, and correction, but they shall not be presented as country scores, country rankings, national league tables, competitiveness rankings, investment rankings, governance rankings, resilience rankings, or public authority performance rankings unless a separate competent and lawful framework expressly authorizes such use.

National comparison shall be avoided where it could create stigma, political misuse, financing overclaim, insurance misuse, procurement misuse, or public authority misinterpretation. National metrics shall be country-led, context-sensitive, public-safe, and correctionable.

### 24.1.6 Metrics without provider validation.

DDPGF metrics shall not validate providers. Metrics relating to software quality, support status, uptime status, issue resolution, download volume, Marketplace interest, Registry completeness, cloud support, API use, model use, security review, provider contribution, or infrastructure reliability shall not be used to certify, endorse, rank, approve, prefer, or validate any provider, vendor, platform, cloud provider, model provider, software provider, consultant, operator, contractor, or technical contributor by default.

Provider-related metrics shall be provider-neutral, conflict-aware, and boundary-noticed. Provider contribution may be recorded for transparency, but it shall not become procurement advantage or market validation by implication.

### 24.1.7 Metrics without procurement signal.

DDPGF metrics shall not create procurement signals. Marketplace views, downloads, support requests, reuse patterns, Registry status, Grid inputs, TRL notes, software quality metrics, data quality metrics, security review completion, public-safe release, support class, reliability status, National Portfolio relevance, Nexus Universe visibility, or handoff-context inclusion shall not be interpreted as procurement approval, procurement preference, supplier qualification, vendor validation, tender suitability, purchase recommendation, or public procurement readiness.

Procurement decisions must occur through separate competent procurement processes, independent diligence, provider-neutrality controls, conflict controls, and lawful authority outside default DDPGF metrics.

### 24.1.8 Metrics without finance signal.

DDPGF metrics shall not create finance signals. Reuse metrics, readiness metrics, support metrics, public-safe release metrics, Marketplace metrics, Registry metrics, Grid metrics, TRL metrics, National Portfolio metrics, Nexus Universe metrics, Campaign metrics, donor-interest metrics, capital-reader-room metrics, or handoff metrics shall not be treated as investment signals, financeability indicators, bankability indicators, public finance eligibility, donor commitment, insurance readiness approval, underwriting signal, creditworthiness, guarantee eligibility, transaction readiness, or financial advice.

Metrics may identify finance-readiness questions, diligence gaps, dependency records, support requirements, and no-reliance context. They shall not convert digital public goods into financial products, investment opportunities, or financeable assets by implication.

## 24.2 Core DDPGF Metrics

Data quality shall be contextual and tied to a specific purpose and use class.

Data quality shall not create data rights, open data status, AI training permission, public authority record status, cross-border transfer permission, handoff permission, deployment authorization, or execution authority.

### 24.2.7 Model governance completeness.

Model governance completeness shall measure whether model objects have model cards, system cards where applicable, benchmark cards where applicable, intended-use notes, prohibited-use notes, data provenance records, evaluation records, bias and harm review, human oversight pattern, AI-use label, red-team records where appropriate, incident pathway, withdrawal pathway, support class, access class, public-safe status, and correction pathway.

Model governance completeness shall not create AI safety certification, general validation, automated authority, public authority approval, procurement readiness, financeability, insurability, deployment authorization, or execution authority.

### 24.2.8 Security review completion.

Security review completion shall measure whether applicable objects have identity and access review, least-privilege controls, secrets management, repository security, dependency scanning, SBOM records, vulnerability disclosure, threat modeling where appropriate, logging, incident response, backup and recovery, resilience testing, public-safe cyber summary controls, and correction pathway. Security review completion shall be proportional to object class, sensitivity, release class, and support class.

Security review completion shall not mean cybersecurity certification, vulnerability-free status, compliance approval, public authority approval, procurement readiness, deployment authorization, or service guarantee.

### 24.2.9 Public-safe release rate.

Public-safe release rate shall measure the proportion of objects, summaries, Reports, dashboards, Marketplace listings, Registry descriptions, Studio outputs, DRI outputs, Observatory outputs, Campaign materials, Academy materials, Nexus Universe materials, and handoff notes that have completed public-safe review prior to release where public-safe review is required. It may also measure how quickly public-safe transformations are completed after intake.

Public-safe release rate shall not encourage rushed publication or unsafe disclosure. A high release rate shall not imply approval, warning authority, rating authority, certification, procurement status, financeability, consent, deployment authorization, or execution authority.

### 24.2.10 Accessibility completion.

Accessibility completion shall measure whether objects meet applicable accessibility requirements, including screen-reader compatibility, alt text, captions, transcripts, plain-language summaries, low-bandwidth formats, mobile-first access, offline packages, disability inclusion review, multilingual metadata, and accessibility correction. Accessibility completion shall be measured by object class and audience.

Accessibility completion shall not create a new license, substantive approval, public authority approval, certification, procurement status, deployment authorization, or execution authority.

### 24.2.11 Localization completion.

Localization completion shall measure whether objects intended for national, regional, community, or multilingual use have completed language translation, legal-context localization, public authority terminology localization, technical localization, data localization, cultural localization, accessibility localization, low-bandwidth localization, offline localization, community-safe localization, and national repository routing where applicable.

Localization completion shall not mean public authority adoption, national endorsement, community consent, Indigenous consent, certification, procurement approval, finance approval, deployment authorization, or execution authority.

Reuse signals shall guide stewardship, support, and correction.

Reuse signals shall not be treated as endorsement, approval, procurement demand, finance signal, insurance signal, public authority adoption, provider validation, community consent, or deployment readiness.

### 24.2.13 Correction velocity.

Correction velocity shall measure the time and effectiveness with which errors, defects, vulnerabilities, data issues, model issues, public-safe incidents, accessibility barriers, localization errors, license issues, Marketplace issues, Registry issues, Studio issues, Grid or TRL issues, and handoff issues are identified, triaged, corrected, communicated, and archived. Correction velocity shall include propagation to dependent objects and recipients where appropriate.

Correction velocity shall not reward superficial fixes or concealment. Quality of correction, public-safe communication, downstream propagation, and archive integrity shall matter more than speed alone.

### 24.2.14 Deprecation discipline.

Deprecation discipline shall measure whether deprecated objects have deprecation notices, migration guidance where appropriate, successor links where available, end-of-support dates, access restrictions where required, data export rules, secure deletion rules where applicable, teardown records, archive records, and non-continuation notes. Deprecation discipline shall prevent stale reliance.

Deprecation discipline shall not turn deprecated objects into current authority. It marks responsible lifecycle closure or transition.

### 24.2.15 Archive integrity.

Archive integrity shall measure whether archived objects have archive metadata, archive access class, archive-not-current notices, historical use notes, successor links, correction history, license status, public-safe status, retention rules, sensitivity controls, and preservation of institutional memory.
