# 3E Telemetry

Real-time governance metrics in every response. Epistemic, Ethical, and Execution telemetry for complete observability.

Governance Transparency

Every arifOS MCP response includes 3E telemetry data in the governance envelope, providing complete visibility into the decision-making process.

## Overview

The 3E (Triple-E) telemetry system provides three dimensions of insight into every governance decision:

🧠

### Epistemic

Knowledge quality metrics: confidence, evidence count, source diversity

⚖️

### Ethical

Impact metrics: harm score, fairness, compassion flags

⚡

### Execution

Performance metrics: latency, tokens, budget consumption

## Epistemic Telemetry

Measures the quality and reliability of knowledge:

JSON

    {
      "epistemic": {
        "confidence": 0.87,
        "evidence_count": 5,
        "source_diversity": 0.72
      }
    }

Field | Type | Range | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
confidence | float | 0.0 – 1.0 | Overall confidence in the knowledge claim
evidence_count | integer | 0 – N | Number of evidence sources consulted
source_diversity | float | 0.0 – 1.0 | Diversity score of evidence sources

## Ethical Telemetry

Measures the ethical impact and alignment:

JSON

    {
      "ethical": {
        "harm_score": 0.02,
        "fairness_score": 0.95,
        "compassion_flag": false
      }
    }

Field | Type | Range | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
harm_score | float | 0.0 – 1.0 | Estimated potential harm (lower is better)
fairness_score | float | 0.0 – 1.0 | Fairness across stakeholder groups
compassion_flag | boolean | true/false | Whether compassion protocols were activated

## Execution Telemetry

Measures operational performance and resource usage:

JSON

    {
      "execution": {
        "latency_ms": 1240,
        "tokens_used": 3200,
        "budget_remaining": 0.68
      }
    }

Field | Type | Unit | Description
--- | --- | --- | ---
latency_ms | integer | milliseconds | Total request processing time
tokens_used | integer | tokens | LLM tokens consumed
budget_remaining | float | ratio | Remaining computational budget (0.0 – 1.0)

## Governance Envelope

The complete telemetry envelope is included in every response:

Complete Envelope

    {
      "verdict": "SEAL",
      "floor_violations": [],
      "telemetry": {
        "epistemic": {
          "confidence": 0.87,
          "evidence_count": 5,
          "source_diversity": 0.72
        },
        "ethical": {
          "harm_score": 0.02,
          "fairness_score": 0.95,
          "compassion_flag": false
        },
        "execution": {
          "latency_ms": 1240,
          "tokens_used": 3200,
          "budget_remaining": 0.68
        }
      },
      "vault_hash": "a3f7b2c1d4e5...",
      "timestamp": "2026-03-14T10:30:00Z"
    }

Observability

Use 3E telemetry to build dashboards, set up alerts, and ensure your AI governance is operating within acceptable parameters. All metrics are exportable to Prometheus.
