Frequently Asked Questions

What KPIs should Aviation operations track for AI?

The Generative Metrics Discovery Framework has produced 41 proposed KPIs for Aviation across 13 categories, including Gate Assignment Connection Impact Score (GACIS), Gate Hold Net Value Score (GHNVS), Proactive Rebooking Precision. Each specification includes a computable formula, data source mappings, a maturity classification, and a validation pilot design.

Why do existing Aviation KPIs miss AI decisions?

Legacy Aviation metrics were defined before AI systems began creating operational decisions. When an AI capability creates a new decision, that decision carries failure modes that no existing metric is structurally capable of detecting. The framework maps each AI capability to the decisions it creates and defines the measurement gap behind each invisible failure mode.

How mature are the proposed Aviation KPIs?

Of the 41 proposed KPIs, the maturity distribution is: 8 Pilot-Ready, 25 Integration-Required, 5 Infrastructure-Dependent, 3 Research-Forward. Maturity reflects the data infrastructure required to compute each KPI. All KPIs and thresholds are proposed, pending validation pilots.

Where can I get the full Aviation KPI catalog?
