CDC/RDC Metrics Reference

Common metrics for crossing and reset signoff.

Core metric families

  • Risk: critical/high open count, owner assignment coverage.

  • Reliability: MTBF assumptions, pulse miss probability, reset stability.

  • Protocol: liveness/safety pass rates, fifo underflow/overflow risk.

  • Governance: waiver age, expiry compliance, gate pass rate.

  • Program: milestone closure burn-down and residual risk trend.
