Remaining Metric Triage

Metric ID Metric Coverage Dimension Likely Source Family Recommended Next Step Rationale Display Status
NDD-MET-027Emergency and supplemental spending impactEmergency/supplemental exposureOMB supplemental materials / CBO cost estimates / Treasury outlay contextKEEP REVIEW ONLYEmergency and supplemental spending can be important context, but the source method must distinguish enacted supplemental authority, budgetary effects, timing, rescissions, offsets, and ordinary appropriations. Keep review-only until a defensible method is approved.REVIEW ONLY NOT MERGED
NDD-MET-032Debt sustainability projection risk contextProjection contextCBO Long-Term Budget Outlook / GAO Fiscal OutlookKEEP REVIEW ONLYLong-term projection risk is useful explanatory context, but it is highly model-dependent and should remain review-only until the projection horizon, baseline version, uncertainty language, and display rules are approved.REVIEW ONLY NOT MERGED
NDD-MET-028Temporary, one-time, or emergency fiscal adjustment contextDebt management contextU.S. Treasury debt-limit notices / Fiscal Data / Congressional actionsSOURCE METHOD REVIEW NEEDEDThis may be useful context if it explains temporary fiscal movements, but it should not be merged until the metric definition and source method are clearer.REVIEW ONLY NOT MERGED

Recommended interpretation: keep model-dependent or attribution-sensitive context metrics review-only unless they fill a clear gap and pass a separate human merge approval gate.
