Metrics & Diagnostics
The five-metric spine — and the diagnostics beneath it.
Core metrics — in order of authority

Structural diagnostics
What the surface numbers hide.
Six diagnostic reads that expose contradiction, drift, distortion, and leakage before they become drawdown.
Every metric lives inside the workbooks.
These aren’t theory pages — each metric is calculated, tracked, and interpreted inside the MARS module ecosystem.
