Drift sensors are leading indicators that detect decline before outcomes collapse.
In eduKateOS, Phase 3 is built on drift sensors. Outcomes are lagging indicators. By the time outcomes fail, you are often already in Phase 0.
Drift sensors prevent that.
H2: What Drift Sensors Do
Drift sensors detect:
• Early error pattern changes
• Timing slowdowns
• Reduced stability under stress
• Increasing “rework” and correction time
• Attention lapses, fatigue signals, overload signals
• Decreasing transfer (can’t apply skills in new contexts)
They measure change before visible breakdown.
H2: Drift Sensors vs Outcomes
Outcomes are delayed. Drift sensors are early.
Example pattern:
• Drift sensor: small rise in careless mistakes
• Outcome later: test score collapses
• Late response = Phase 0
• Early response = Phase 3 correction
H2: What Good Drift Sensors Look Like
A good drift sensor is:
• Easy to measure repeatedly
• Sensitive to early decline
• Hard to “fake”
• Specific enough to guide action
• Linked to a recovery trigger
H2: Canonical Drift Sensor Categories
Use any that fit your system:
• Accuracy micro-tests (small probes)
• Speed checks (time trials)
• Consistency checks (repeatability)
• Load checks (fatigue / stress conditions)
• Process checks (did the system follow the procedure?)
H2: Canonical Boundary Rule
If you only measure outcomes and do not measure leading indicators, you are not doing drift control.
Phase 3 requires drift sensors.
