# Cognitive Effect Assessment Framework The Cognitive Effect Assessment Framework is the article’s proposed measurement system for evaluating decision performance rather than engagement, reach, sentiment, or message volume. ## Candidate measures - OODA-loop continuity and decision latency under pressure; - trust-network integrity and recovery; - provenance adoption and verification speed; - AI-assistant robustness; - attribution-fog entropy; - amplification-signature velocity; - pre/post-perturbation coherence change; - beneficiary-analysis confidence. ## Purpose The framework makes cognitive sovereignty testable and auditable. It asks whether people and institutions can continue to orient and decide accurately, not merely whether a counter-message received attention. ## Evidentiary boundary These are proposed measures, not a settled government standard. Valid use requires operational definitions, baselines, uncertainty ranges, civil-liberties controls, and resistance to metric gaming. ## Source [[articles/Cognitive-Cyber Warfare Measures and Countermeasures#A Cognitive Effect Assessment Framework|Cognitive-Cyber Warfare — assessment framework]].
