Pair quantitative metrics with qualitative judgment to prevent surrogation where the measure psychologically replaces the construct it was designed to represent.

Grounded in measures ceasing to be good measures when they become targets (When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good…) and meaning being constructed by receivers (Meaning as Receiver Construction). The principle prescribes combining numbers with narrative to restore context.
