Metrics catalog

Metrics are facts with definitions, not an implied ranking of grammar quality. Each metric has a scope and interpretation context.

GroupExamplesTypical class
Sizerules, alternatives, terminalsA
Structurereachable, recursive, productive rulesA or B
Representationordered choice, EBNF sugar, precedenceB or C
Review signalsunresolved symbols, diagnosticsA for the same policy

The complete definitions, nullability rules, and notApplicable cases are in the normative metrics catalog. Cross-format guidance is in the cross-format notes.

Do not render notApplicable as zero. Do not compare Class B or C values without preserving frontend capabilities and representation context.
