**Per-round meta-cognition measurables** (per [B-0037.1](../docs/research/meta-cognition-survey-2026-04-21.md)):

- **`self-corrections-per-round`.** Count of dated revision blocks on memories, BACKLOG rows, ADRs, commits within a round. Target: rising as factory matures. Grep `docs/` + `memory/` for dated revision blocks per round boundary.
- **`overclaim-self-tags-per-round`.** Count of `overclaim*` tags written by the factory before external correction. Target: rising is healthy; zero is suspicious. `grep -r "overclaim" --include="*.md"` gated by round date range.
- **`revision-blocks-per-round`.** Count of all dated revision blocks across memory + doc layers within a round. Target: rising with justifications logged. Same grep as above, broader pattern.
- **`decohere-star-self-detected-events-count`.** Count of `decohere*` events the factory detects in its own work before external correction. Target: rising. `grep -r "decohere\*" --include="*.md"` per round.

- **`meta-check-execution-rate`.** Ratio of round-closes that actually ran the meta-check step (see [B-0037.2](../docs/backlog/P2/B-0037.2-meta-cognition-round-close-checklist.md)). Target: 100% once the ROUND-HISTORY.md round-close meta-check template (landed by B-0037.2) is wired into the close ritual. Currently not yet automated; agent self-report in commit bodies.
- **`meta-drift-detection-lag-rounds`.** How many rounds pass before a decayed audit-discipline is caught. Target: low and falling. Not yet automated; requires retrospective survey.

The `meta-check-execution-rate` and `meta-drift-detection-lag-rounds` are honestly labelled *not yet automated* — they depend on subsequent infrastructure to be countable.

### Multi-round / research-grade metrics (work in progress)

- **Calibration-honesty trajectory (SD-1).**

## Resolution

Closed 2026-05-16 via picking up the #2-Ready overlay (the
`classification: blocked` field was stale because B-0037.1 merged
earlier this session via PR #3859; B-0037.2 closed in PR #3888
landed the related ROUND-HISTORY.md template).

**Deliverable shipped this PR**:

`docs/ALIGNMENT.md` §"Measurability — what we count" → §"Per-round
metrics" → appended a "Per-round meta-cognition measurables" subsection
with all 6 measurables from B-0037.1 taxonomy:

- `self-corrections-per-round` (concrete grep: dated revision blocks)
- `overclaim-self-tags-per-round` (concrete grep: `overclaim` matches)
- `revision-blocks-per-round` (concrete grep: same broader pattern)
- `decohere-star-self-detected-events-count` (concrete grep: `decohere\*` matches)
- `meta-check-execution-rate` (honestly labelled not-yet-automated)
- `meta-drift-detection-lag-rounds` (honestly labelled not-yet-automated)

**Acceptance check**:

- ✅ ALIGNMENT.md §"Per-round metrics" lists all 6 measurables with
definitions + measurement procedures
- ✅ 4 of 6 measurables have concrete grep commands (above 3-required threshold)
- ✅ No existing measurables modified — pure additive subsection
- ✅ `dotnet build -c Release` unaffected — pure doc addition

**Composes with**: B-0037.2 closed PR #3888 (the round-close meta-check template that this row's `meta-check-execution-rate` measurable cites). B-0037.4 (distributed-vs-concentrated ADR) remains separate scope.
