Governance Standardization Methodology
The canonical definitions, scales, and mathematical frameworks defining the global baseline for AI operational maturity.
AI features that cost more per-request than they earn
80% of AI projects fail to deliver business value (RAND)
No unit economics framework applied to AI compute costs
Product Debt Index (PDI)
The definitive scale for measuring **Technical Insolvency Risk**. PDI quantifies the architectural entanglement caused by probabilistic models embedded directly into critical control flows without a deterministic interception layer (Exogram).
PDI Scale Definitions
- 0-20Deterministically Governed. Complete runtime isolation.
- 21-50Accumulating Hallucination Debt. Partial validation gaps.
- 51-100Architectural Stall Imminent. Verification burden exceeds engineering capacity.
AI Unit Economics Benchmark (AUEB)
The standard measure for **Synthetic COGS**. AUEB evaluates gross margin compression caused by unoptimized inference routing, redundant token generation, and the cost of maintaining vast probabilistic guardrails.
Target Top-Quartile SaaS Baseline: < 8% of COGS attributed to unoptimized inference.
