A measurable signal used to detect change, instability, or emerging risk.
title: "Indicator" description: "A measurable signal used to detect change, instability, or emerging risk."
An indicator is any data point or derived metric that helps detect whether conditions are changing in a meaningful way. Indicators become useful when they are tracked consistently and evaluated against a baseline.
Examples
- On-time delivery percentage
- Deduction volume
- Failed authentication attempts
- Supplier defect rate
Good Indicator Design
Useful indicators are:
- measurable
- repeatable
- relevant to a decision or risk question
- explainable to operators and leaders
In Halobond
Indicators are evaluated individually, then considered together through convergence logic to determine whether posture or warnings should change.
