# XX. FORMULA ## **20.1 SCF Metrics Doctrine** ### **20.1.1 Metrics as Learning, Not Ranking.** 20.1.1.1 **SCF metrics shall be used for learning, improvement, correction, capability formation, and system stewardship, not for ranking persons, communities, institutions, countries, employers, providers, sponsors, or public authorities by default.** Metrics shall help SCF understand where competencies are emerging, where learning pathways are incomplete, where WILPs require support, where credentials require renewal, where labor-market signals are changing, where equity gaps persist, where public-good contribution is forming, where National Portfolio capability requires reinforcement, and where correction is required. 20.1.1.2 SCF metrics shall not be designed or used as social scores, employability scores, country rankings, provider rankings, public authority rankings, community rankings, worker rankings, learner rankings, procurement scores, finance scores, insurance scores, immigration scores, or deployment-readiness determinations. Metrics may describe system health and evidence status only within recorded scope. 20.1.1.3 SCF shall prefer explanatory, contextual, and improvement-oriented metrics over competitive league tables. Where comparison is unavoidable for internal stewardship, such comparison shall be bounded, non-public by default, context-aware, equity-reviewed, and accompanied by limitations, data quality notes, and no-conversion notices. ### **20.1.2 Metrics as System Health.** 20.1.2.1 **SCF metrics shall measure system health.** System health includes whether competency maps are current, learning objects are complete, WILPs are safe and evidence-bearing, credentials are bounded and renewable, ILA records are accurate, iCRS records are complete, Marketplace and Registry surfaces are current, corrections are timely, archives are reliable, and National Skills Intelligence remains useful. 20.1.2.2 System-health metrics shall identify bottlenecks, stale records, unsupported pathways, inaccessible learning objects, unreviewed credentials, weak evidence, outdated labor-market signals, safeguard risks, AI-use risks, data quality problems, and correction backlogs. 20.1.2.3 System-health metrics shall not be used to punish learners, workers, communities, or national participants for gaps caused by structural inequality, infrastructure constraints, conflict, disaster, digital exclusion, language barriers, disability barriers, or historical underinvestment. ### **20.1.3 Metrics as Public-Good Accountability.** 20.1.3.1 **SCF metrics shall support public-good accountability.** Accountability means that SCF can demonstrate whether it is producing usable learning pathways, bounded credentials, evidence-bearing WILPs, public-good contribution records, national capability inputs, public-safe competency knowledge, and correctionable records without drifting into credential overclaim, employment overclaim, procurement overclaim, public authority overclaim, social scoring, or labor extraction. 20.1.3.2 Public-good accountability metrics shall track whether SCF outputs remain accessible, inclusive, reviewable, corrected, archived, non-extractive, privacy-protective, and aligned with Nexus public-good purpose. 20.1.3.3 Accountability metrics shall include not only completion indicators but also safeguard indicators, correction indicators, accessibility indicators, equity indicators, data-quality indicators, review indicators, and boundary-discipline indicators. ### **20.1.4 Metrics as Labor-Market Feedback.** 20.1.4.1 **SCF metrics shall translate labor-market signals into competency learning, not deterministic labor-market claims.** Labor-market feedback may include job posting trends, employer demand signals, occupation and task changes, wage context, shortage signals, transition signals, AI-exposure signals, green and resilience skill signals, public authority capacity signals, WILP host signals, and National Portfolio demand signals. 20.1.4.2 Labor-market metrics shall be used to update competency maps, learning pathways, WILP design, micro-credential stacks, transition pathways, Foundry competence builds, Marketplace opportunities, National Skills Maps, and public-safe Reports. 20.1.4.3 Labor-market metrics shall not be represented as employment guarantees, wage promises, hiring commitments, visa or immigration pathways, procurement eligibility, public authority decisions, financeability, insurability, or proof of individual employability. ### **20.1.5 Metrics as Equity Signal.** 20.1.5.1 **SCF metrics shall identify equity barriers and access gaps.** Equity signals may include differential access by geography, language, disability, gender, age, youth status, connectivity, device availability, socioeconomic context, rural or remote location, displacement, disaster exposure, migration context, Indigenous protocol-sensitive context where applicable, and participation in underrepresented groups. 20.1.5.2 Equity metrics shall guide corrective design, accessibility improvement, bridge learning, Recognition of Prior Learning, low-bandwidth delivery, offline delivery, language localization, disability inclusion, youth safeguards, worker protection, and non-extractive community learning. 20.1.5.3 Equity metrics shall not be used to rank, stigmatize, profile, label, or expose individuals, communities, institutions, or countries. Equity measurement shall be privacy-protective, contextual, and improvement-oriented. ### **20.1.6 Metrics Without Social Scoring.** 20.1.6.1 **SCF shall not operate as a social scoring system.** SCF metrics, ILA records, iCRS records, skills wallets, portfolios, credentials, badges, Marketplace profiles, Registry statuses, WILP records, contribution records, and National Skills Maps shall not be aggregated into generalized personal scores that determine access, worth, employability, trustworthiness, public authority treatment, procurement treatment, finance treatment, insurance treatment, immigration treatment, or social status by default. 20.1.6.2 SCF may record evidence of learning, contribution, credential status, participation, review, and competency progress, but such records shall remain bounded to specific purposes, scopes, contexts, and display permissions. 20.1.6.3 Any attempt to convert SCF metrics into social scoring, hidden ranking, automated exclusion, or generalized personal scoring shall be treated as a boundary incident and shall trigger review, correction, and restriction. ### **20.1.7 Metrics Without Country Ranking.** 20.1.7.1 **SCF shall not rank countries by default.** National Skills Maps, National Competency Gap Registers, National WILP Host Maps, National Credential Maps, National AI Transition Maps, National Green and Resilience Skills Maps, National Public Authority Learning Maps, and National Handoff Literacy Maps shall support national learning, national ownership, public-good capability formation, and National Portfolio development, not public ranking. 20.1.7.2 Country-level metrics shall be contextualized by national priorities, data availability, institutional capacity, language context, infrastructure context, disaster exposure, conflict sensitivity, labor-market structure, informal work patterns, public authority arrangements, and national ownership. 20.1.7.3 National displays shall avoid league tables, reputational scoring, donor pressure scoring, investor scoring, insurance scoring, or public comparison that could distort national priorities or create perverse incentives. ### **20.1.8 Metrics Without Employment, Wage, Procurement, or Credential Overclaim.** 20.1.8.1 **SCF metrics shall not create employment, wage, procurement, or credential overclaim.** A metric showing completion, readiness, transition progress, employer interest, WILP availability, skills demand, credential uptake, Marketplace display, Registry status, or National Portfolio contribution shall not be represented as employment eligibility, wage guarantee, hiring approval, procurement qualification, professional license, degree equivalence, regulated qualification, public authority approval, deployment authorization, or execution authority. 20.1.8.2 Every public or controlled-public SCF metric surface shall include appropriate notices, including no-employment, no-wage, no-procurement, no-public-authority, no-professional-license, no-ranking, no-social-scoring, no-consent, no-handoff-execution, correction, and archive notices where applicable. *** ## **20.2 Core SCF Metrics** ### **20.2.1 Competency Map Completeness.** 20.2.1.1 **Competency Map Completeness shall measure whether competency maps are sufficiently defined, scoped, leveled, evidenced, reviewed, and connected to relevant learning, work, contribution, and National Portfolio pathways.** 20.2.1.2 This metric may assess the presence and quality of competency definitions, competency families, domain clusters, levels, evidence types, mapping to occupation and task profiles, learning object links, credential links, WILP links, Foundry links, Marketplace links, Registry links, Reports links, and correction pathways. 20.2.1.3 Competency Map Completeness shall not imply professional certification, legal equivalence, credential authority, labor-market accuracy, employment readiness, or public authority adoption. ### **20.2.2 Labor-Market Signal Refresh Rate.** 20.2.2.1 **Labor-Market Signal Refresh Rate shall measure how frequently SCF labor-market intelligence is updated, reviewed, contextualized, and corrected.** 20.2.2.2 Relevant signals may include official labor statistics, public employment service data, job postings, employer surveys, sector skill bodies, wage and vacancy data, education completion data, informal work signals, gig work signals, care work signals, public-good contribution signals, Nexus Campaign signals, Academy signals, Foundry signals, Registry signals, and National Portfolio signals. 20.2.2.3 Refresh rate shall be accompanied by data-quality notes and limitations.
