Containment Integrity Index (CII)

VC-MET-401 — the composite barrier-integrity score for graded containment spheres and bio-vaults, the governing safety metric of the facility.

Definition

The Containment Integrity Index (CII) is a 0–100 composite expressing how completely a containment sphere or bio-vault is holding its specimen isolated from the rest of the facility. It fuses negative-pressure margin, seal leak rate, breach-proximity margin, and decontamination-airlock compliance into one number per containment unit. CII is computed and weighted by the unit's GCL grade: the higher the grade, the harsher the penalty for any integrity loss.

Why it matters

CII is the metric the Directorate will not compromise. A GCL-4 cultivar — weaponized, lethal, or mobile — relies on its sphere absolutely. Because CII fuses four independent barrier signals and grade-weights them, it surfaces a degrading seal or a collapsing pressure margin before any single channel reaches its own critical point. A facility-aggregate CII below 100 is, by policy, an event.

Formula

Each barrier sub-signal is normalized to a 0–1 penalty-complement, combined, then sharpened by the grade weight γ so that high-grade units fall faster on any defect:

CII = 100 · ( 1 − γ_norm · Σ wᵢ·(1 − sᵢ) )

sub-signals sᵢ (each clamped to [0,1], 1 = perfect):
  s_P  pressure-margin  = clamp( (−ΔP − 18) / (45 − 18) )   (VC-MET-402)
  s_L  seal-tightness   = clamp( 1 − leak / 45 )            (VC-MET-403)
  s_B  breach-margin    = clamp( (gap − 10) / (60 − 10) )   (VC-MET-405)
  s_D  decon-compliance = airlock_compliance / 100          (VC-MET-409)

weights:  w_P = 0.35  w_L = 0.30  w_B = 0.25  w_D = 0.10
grade norm:  γ_norm = γ / 4.0      (GCL-4 → 1.0, full severity)

Hard floor:  any sᵢ = 0 on a GCL-3/GCL-4 unit forces CII ≤ 90
(CRIT) irrespective of the weighted blend — a single failed
barrier on a dangerous specimen is never averaged away.

Units & Scale

Dimensionless, 0–100, one decimal place, per containment unit and recomputed every 30 s. Facility-aggregate CII is the minimum across all GCL-3/GCL-4 units and the grade-weighted mean across the remainder — never a plain average, because one failing high-grade sphere must dominate the headline.

BREACH RISK

Automatic breach-response sequence on GCL-4 units.

CRITICAL — Breach Response. When a GCL-4 unit's CII falls below 92.0, CHLORA does not wait for an operator. It immediately: (1) drives the sphere to maximum negative pressure, (2) seals the surrounding zone and its decon airlocks, (3) dispatches a Venus Sentinel containment team, and (4) escalates directly to the Chief Botanical Officer. A CII of 0 on a GCL-4 unit is a declared containment breach — the single most serious event class at GreenWorld Sector-7. Refer to SOP · GCL-4 Containment & Breach Response.
