a designed system with five specific components (specific metric, capture method, fixed review cadence, action threshold, and closing action) that transforms data into actionable feedback for system regulation
Why This Is a Definition
This definition names the term 'feedback mechanism,' establishes it as a 'designed system,' and precisely defines its genus through its five required components. It distinguishes this from mere data collection or passive observation by specifying the functional requirements that transform raw data into actionable feedback for system regulation, making it precise and operational.
