Geological Intelligence Performance Framework

Paper 337 of 383
Published June 1, 2026

The performance of an exploration system should be evaluated by more than discoveries alone.

Discovery outcomes may depend upon factors beyond the quality of the underlying process.

This paper evaluates intelligence performance through uncertainty reduction, learning rate, information value, decision quality, and opportunity identification.


Performance Metrics


Performance Principle

A strong intelligence system improves understanding even when discovery has not yet occurred.

Performance is measured by the quality of learning produced.
