Constructs & Metrics

This section defines what may be measured, interpreted, and discussed within ESGR-aligned systems—and what must never be claimed. These constructs are not performance indicators, outcomes, or diagnostic tools. They are system-level state variables with explicit responsibility boundaries.

Core Constructs

01

DSI — Stress Signal Index

Short-term boundary signal designed to avoid over-control and gamification.

02

ERI — Emotion–Resilience Index

Structural recovery capacity under sustained emotional/cognitive load.

03

Recovery Capacity

Current allowance for recovery—state-dependent and probabilistic.

04

Stress Load

Cumulative consumption and sustainability boundary—not distress.

Rules & Boundaries

Forbidden Claims

The explicit list of claims ESGR-aligned systems must never make.

Measurement vs Interpretation

Data is not responsibility—why interpretation must be conservative.

A construct earns legitimacy not by what it predicts, but by what it refuses to promise.
