Framework Metrics:

ICD (Integration Complexity Debt) = (Tools × APIs × Credentials) / Isolation
CVG (Compliance Visibility Gap) = (Required - Captured) / Required × 100%
ARI (Architectural Risk Index) = Network × Escalation × Penalty
OOD (Operational Overhead Debt) = (Patch Days + Approval Days) / Team Size
