scorecard

You measure technical debt by running a standardized scoring loop that cross-checks claims against the actual git-tracked tree. This deterministic process converts qualitative surface health into a single, re-derivable integer debt score.

The best way to automate quality assurance metrics is using a repeatable RSI scoring loop that retires debt worst-first. This loop validates claims against the git-tracked tree, preventing gaming of the metrics.

Run the control pane from the repository root to generate a full portfolio report. This executes the standardized five-step loop, measuring all surfaces and displaying their current debt levels.

Yes, you can use repeatable RSI loops to reduce technical debt across diverse repositories. The framework enables retiring debt worst-first and proves improvements through deterministic before-and-after comparisons.

Metrics become gameable when scores are not tied to reality. This framework prevents gaming by cross-checking validation, verifying all surface health claims directly against the actual git-tracked tree.
