Pair performance metrics with counter-metrics that measure potential negative side effects to prevent optimization death spirals.
Why This Is a Principle
Directly derives from When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good… (Goodhart's Law - measures becoming targets) and The behavior of a system arises from its structure… (system behavior from structure). Grove's paired indicators prevent single-metric gaming. This is highly actionable: if measuring speed, also measure quality; if measuring output, also measure defects.
