| Measure | Why it matters | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Share of instruments in use that are in date | Shows the recall works | Overdue instruments relabeled 'reference only' to keep the number up |
| Out-of-tolerance results per quarter | Shows whether intervals and handling suit the conditions | A falling count because as-found data stopped being reported |
| Days from finding to a closed assessment | Shows the out-of-tolerance path works | Assessments closed with 'no impact' and no trace |
| Days from finding to customer notification, where needed | What the customer feels | Waiting for the full assessment before telling anyone |
| Key characteristics with an acceptable or conditional study | Separates calibrated from capable | Studies run on ten parts in a row to look good |
| Minutes to complete a trace test | Shows the records link up | Testing only the instrument you know is well recorded |
