Calculate mean time between failures (MTBF) and mean time to recovery (MTTR) separately, because agents with the same failure rate can have dramatically different impact depending on recovery speed.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from memory under stress being unreliable (Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable…) and self-monitoring producing goal attainment effects (Self-monitoring of behavior produces significant…). The principle prescribes measuring both failure frequency and detection latency to distinguish prevention from recovery needs.
