- Point or setpointA particular desired value held with a small explicit tolerance rather than false exactness.
- Floor or thresholdA minimum that must be met before an outcome counts as acceptable or the next action is permitted.
- CeilingA maximum you should not exceed because more becomes toxic, fragile, or not worth its cost.
- Band or corridorAn acceptable interval maintained over time, with intervention only when the variable persistently leaves it.
- Trajectory or rateA desired direction and pace of change across time, where the slope matters more than any snapshot.
- Cumulative totalAn accumulated quantity over a period where timing can vary but the total is what's causally meaningful.
- Distribution, minimum, or tailEvaluate how outcomes vary across people, cases, or scenarios, with special attention to the worst-served and the rare severe tail.
- Pareto frontier or partial orderKeep the set of non-dominated options and refuse to collapse plural values into one fake score.
- Conditional policyA mapping from observable states to different actions or target levels instead of one fixed reference for all conditions.
- CompassA stable orienting direction used to choose locally when the endpoint can't or shouldn't be fully specified.
