Frequently Asked Questions

What KPIs should Mining operations track for AI?

The Generative Metrics Discovery Framework has produced 37 proposed KPIs for Mining across 13 categories, including Deferral Damage Escalation Rate (DDER), Predictive Masking Rate (PMR), Schedule Buffer Consumption Index (SBCI). Each specification includes a computable formula, data source mappings, a maturity classification, and a validation pilot design.

Why do existing Mining KPIs miss AI decisions?

Legacy Mining 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 Mining KPIs?

Of the 37 proposed KPIs, the maturity distribution is: 10 Pilot-Ready, 19 Integration-Required, 8 Infrastructure-Dependent. Maturity reflects the data infrastructure required to compute each KPI. All KPIs and thresholds are proposed, pending validation pilots.
