SoC Integration Metrics Reference

Core metrics for top-level integration and tapeout readiness.

Core metric families

  • Contract health: budget adherence, open-owner risks, milestone slip rate.

  • Functional integration: boot success, reset/clock mode failures, protocol escapes.

  • Performance integration: p99 latency, contention hotspots, bandwidth efficiency.

  • Signoff integration: manifest completeness, waiver aging, closure burn-down.

  • Program risk: unowned blockers, escalation turnaround, residual risk trend.
