Principlev1
Benchmark efficiency, accuracy, and quality dimensions
Benchmark efficiency, accuracy, and quality dimensions together rather than only measuring what is easy—optimization that improves measurable proxies while degrading unmeasured outcomes is regression disguised as progress.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Goodhart's law (When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good) and goals as perceptual filters (Goals as Perceptual Filters). When measures become targets, they cease to be good measures. The principle prescribes multi-dimensional measurement to defend against this dynamic.
