Success Metrics
LMU/COICP Example
Success Metrics Example
Define how LMU/COICP will recognize business value, operational improvement, engineering readiness, trustworthiness, adoption, governance discipline, educational usefulness, and failure signals.
ES-101
Success Metrics
Evidence Targets
Example purpose
This artifact defines what success should mean before requirements are written.
Success is not a demo. Success requires evidence that the business problem is being addressed, trust boundaries are preserved, and downstream engineering decisions have enough evidence to proceed responsibly.

Success summary
LMU/COICP succeeds if internal engineering review shows that a bounded, evidence-preserving coordination workspace can improve clarity, ownership, handoff accountability, reviewability, and scope control for selected university operations scenarios without creating operational, privacy, safety, AI, or governance risk.

False Success Signal |
Why It Fails |
| NS-001 |
A polished demo without evidence timeline. |
Does not prove coordination trustworthiness. |
| NS-002 |
Faster updates that lose ownership accountability. |
Speed without evidence is not success. |
| NS-003 |
AI summaries that look useful but were not reviewed. |
Violates AI boundary and trust. |
| NS-004 |
More visibility by weakening role-based access. |
Violates privacy/security expectations. |
| NS-005 |
Emergency-related input accepted as normal incident. |
Violates safety boundary. |
| NS-006 |
Internal review treated as operational pilot. |
Violates release/governance posture. |
| NS-007 |
Synthetic data replaced by real incident records. |
Violates compliance boundary. |
