# EMEP KPI Specification: Metrics and Targets

> Key performance indicators for EMEP including documentation coverage, traceability, reproducibility, regression rate, throughput, latency, and deployment success metrics.

EMEP measures progress through seven key performance indicators. Each KPI has a clear definition, target value, measurement cadence, and data source. These metrics drive phase gate decisions and continuous improvement.

## KPI Registry

| KPI                       | Definition                                                    | Target       | Measurement Cadence | Source                                                    |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------ | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Documentation Coverage    | Percentage of components with complete specifications         | 100%         | Weekly              | Spec index vs. component list                             |
| Spec-to-Test Traceability | Percentage of specifications with linked test cases           | 95%          | Weekly              | [Traceability matrix](/audit/traceability-matrix)         |
| Reproducibility Score     | Percentage of experiments reproducible from artifacts         | 100%         | Per experiment      | [ExperimentTracker](/tracking/experiment-tracking)        |
| Regression Rate           | Percentage of candidates showing regression on Validation Set | Below 5%     | Per generation      | [EvaluationEngine](/evaluation/framework)                 |
| Mean Candidate Throughput | Candidates evaluated per GPU-hour                             | Above 2.0    | Daily               | [EvolutionEngine](/evolution/evolution-engine)            |
| Mean Evaluation Latency   | Wall-clock time per benchmark run                             | Below 30 min | Daily               | [BenchmarkEngine](/evaluation/benchmark-specification)    |
| Deploy Success Rate       | Percentage of deployments completing without rollback         | Above 99%    | Per deployment      | [DeploymentManager](/deployment/deployment-specification) |

## Measurement Details

### Documentation Coverage

Calculated as: (specified components / total components) \* 100. A component is specified when it has a merged page in the documentation site with complete frontmatter, opening prose, and at least one diagram. Target is 100% by end of [Phase 0](/project/phases/phase-0).

### Spec-to-Test Traceability

Calculated as: (specs with linked tests / total specs) \* 100. A link requires a bidirectional reference: the spec page cites a test ID, and the test references the spec path. Target is 95% by end of [Phase 2](/project/phases/phase-2), 100% by end of [Phase 5](/project/phases/phase-5).

### Reproducibility Score

An experiment is reproducible when another operator can re-run it from stored artifacts and obtain the same candidate status (PASS, FAIL, REGRESSION, INVALID, INCOMPLETE) within a tolerance band. The score is: (reproducible experiments / total experiments) \* 100. Target is 100% for all experiments tracked in [ExperimentTracker](/tracking/experiment-tracking).

### Regression Rate

Calculated per generation: (REGRESSION candidates / total evaluated candidates) \* 100. Regression means a candidate scores lower than its parent on any [Validation Set](/evaluation/benchmark-specification) benchmark. Target is below 5% after [Phase 5](/project/phases/phase-5) stabilization.

### Mean Candidate Throughput

Candidates fully evaluated (all benchmarks, all splits) per GPU-hour. Measured on A100-equivalent hardware. Target is above 2.0 by end of [Phase 5](/project/phases/phase-5). This KPI is an [Engineering assumption](#evidence-tags).

### Mean Evaluation Latency

Wall-clock time from benchmark job submission to result availability, averaged over a 24-hour window. Target is below 30 minutes per benchmark by end of [Phase 4](/project/phases/phase-4).

### Deploy Success Rate

Percentage of [DeploymentManager](/deployment/deployment-specification) executions that complete without triggering [rollback](/enterprise/model-rollback). Calculated as: (successful deployments / total deployments) \* 100. Target is above 99% by end of [Phase 7](/project/phases/phase-7).

## Evidence Tags

| Tag                    | Application                                                                                                        |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Engineering assumption | Candidate throughput target assumes A100-class GPUs and fp16 inference                                             |
| Future goal            | 100% reproducibility requires deterministic GPU operations, which may need CUDA flags                              |
| Research hypothesis    | Regression rate below 5% assumes effective [multi-objective optimization](/evolution/multi-objective-optimization) |

<Warning>
  KPI targets are baselines for phase gates, not guarantees. If a target is missed, the phase gate requires a documented mitigation plan before proceeding.
