Metrics

How every number is computed

This page is generated from the metric registry, the single source of truth for what each number on the State of the Archive means. Every metric stands here with its definition, its computation, what it excludes, who owns it, and what it does not mean. A metric whose computation is not yet connected to the site's data stands here defined, marked as registered, and renders no number until it can be computed truthfully. Definitions version 1.0.

Scale: what the archive contains

Entities in the tree

Computed and rendered on the State of the Archive.

What it measures
The number of entities standing in the worldview tree, the site's registry of world views opened into their branches, families, and bodies.
How it is computed
Count of published TreeProfile records; the breakdown counts them by level.
What it excludes
Schisms are not entities and are not counted; unpublished profiles are excluded.

Computed and rendered on the State of the Archive.

What it measures
The number of published posts across the site's post types.

Works in the References register

Computed and rendered on the State of the Archive.

What it measures
The number of works standing in the References register, each cited in Chicago bibliography form.

What it measures
The number of language records the site holds, with its writing scripts and its sourced language relationships.
How it is computed

What it measures
The number of observances standing in the site's calendar, across every tradition it covers.

Computed and rendered on the State of the Archive.

What it measures
The ten registered world views whose history documentation stands thinnest, each with the missing piece named: no dataset, a dataset below its threshold, or a framework standing in place of a dataset.
How it is computed
The registry's dataset status for every world view, ordered by state and then by published event count, the first ten taken; the missing piece is the status and, where a threshold stands, the distance to it.
What it excludes
No world view is excluded; the framework world view appears in its own state and is never ranked as if it were a dataset.

What it does not mean
This list measures the site's documentation arrears. A world view's place on it describes the site's work, and it is published precisely so the arrears are visible rather than buried.

The records longest awaiting review

Computed and rendered on the State of the Archive.

What it measures
The records that have waited longest for the review their standing requires: the origin narrative drafts awaiting verification, oldest first, with their waiting time stated.
How it is computed
Origin narrative records standing unpublished in draft, ordered by the date they were drafted into the site, each with the days it has waited.
What it excludes
Published records are excluded; their review cadences are the freshness family's subject once verification dates are stored.

What it does not mean
The list names editorial arrears the site owes named reviewers. A record's wait describes the site's queue, not the record's worth.

High-traffic pages with the lowest provenance

Computed and rendered on the State of the Archive.

What it measures
The ten highest-traffic pages whose provenance completeness stands lowest: the gap that matters most, because it is what readers are actually seeing.
How it is computed
Pages ranked by traffic against their provenance completeness, once traffic data is connected to the computation.
What it excludes
No page is excluded by its subject; ranking by traffic is the metric's whole point.

What it does not mean
Traffic data is not connected to this computation, and the panel says so in place of the list rather than present a substitute ranking as if it were this one. The absence is itself one of the archive's honest gaps.

Assessments not yet reviewed, by tradition

Computed and rendered on the State of the Archive.

What it measures
The count of Christian Assessment records still standing at Not yet reviewed, grouped by the tradition of the entity each assesses.
How it is computed
Assessment records with any verdict at Not yet reviewed, grouped by their entity's root tradition in the tree.
What it excludes
No exclusions; every unreviewed assessment stands in exactly one group.

What it does not mean
The count measures the review appointment's standing. It is published so the site's largest single backlog is visible on the public page, as the directive requires.

Records withheld, by reason

Computed and rendered on the State of the Archive.

What it measures
The count of records the site withholds from public display, grouped by the reason for withholding, so the site shows what it is withholding and why.
How it is computed
History events standing at a not-for-public-display status, grouped by the standing that holds them: the Indigenous consent framework, under which a community's own foundational histories publish only with that community's granted consent.
What it excludes
Drafts are not withheld records; they are unfinished work and are counted in the overdue list, not here.

What it does not mean
Withholding under the consent framework is the site keeping its word to the communities concerned. The count exists so the withholding is open, never silent.

Changes to the definitions

  • 2026-10-30 The registry's first publication: the twelve families of Doc 29 stand defined at definitions version 1.0, and the metrics whose computation the site's data supports stand computed from this date.

When a definition changes, the version increments and the trend on the State of the Archive carries a marker at the change with a note, so no trend is ever silently stitched across a change of meaning.
