The rule enforced itself → nothing drifts

Metric type Reliability, direction maximize. The grammar itself catches a rule violation the moment it's written, so no one has to remember to check.

BASELINE a rule written down, easy to skip TARGET a rule the grammar enforces itself Reliability ↑ maximize baseline written, skipped target enforced live
Baselinea style guide sits in a doc nobody reads twice, and a rule quietly gets skipped under deadline
Mechanismthe grammar itself extends to enforce the rule on any node it touches, catching it as it's written
TargetReliability maximized — a violation is caught the moment it's written, not in a review weeks later
