FFP-0383 Exhibit: Metrics of Systemic Decay

Systemic decay is not a failure of the architecture; it is a highly predictable schedule of obsolescence.

The metric of decay only matters if the decline can be represented by a perfectly smooth, uninterrupted line.

If the system rots faster than the dashboard can report it, you must file a request to slow down the rust.

We do not fix the decay. We simply update the documentation to redefine the decay as the new baseline standard.

A system is fully decayed when there is no one left to read the error logs it continues to produce.
