Electric Barometer

Electric Barometer is a decision-governance and evaluation framework for cost-aware forecasting, asymmetric risk, and operational readiness.

It provides a structured ecosystem of metrics, contracts, evaluation tools, and optimization policies designed to support production-grade decision systems—particularly where over- and under-prediction carry materially different consequences.

What Electric Barometer is

Electric Barometer is:

  • A framework, not a single model
  • Cost-aware by design, explicitly encoding asymmetric risk
  • Focused on decision impact, not just forecast accuracy
  • Built to support production workflows, governance, and iteration

The ecosystem is modular and composable, with clear separation between metrics, evaluation, optimization, and integration layers.

Core concepts

At a high level, Electric Barometer centers on:

  • Cost-weighted evaluation Metrics that reflect real operational asymmetry rather than symmetric error

  • Readiness and plausibility Signals that capture whether forecasts are operationally actionable

  • Decision calibration Policies and tuning layers that translate forecasts into decisions

  • Governance and transparency Explicit contracts, diagnostics, and auditability across the lifecycle

Package ecosystem

Electric Barometer is composed of multiple focused packages, each with a narrow responsibility:

  • Metrics — cost-weighted and readiness-aware evaluation primitives
  • Contracts — canonical data structures and shared semantics
  • Evaluation — diagnostics, validation, and model selection
  • Optimization — policies, tuning, and search utilities
  • Features — feature engineering utilities
  • Adapters — integration layers for external frameworks
  • Integration — tooling and conventions for composing the system

Each package exposes a minimal API surface and is documented individually under the Packages section.

How to use these docs

  • Use Packages to explore API references for each component
  • Use Concepts to understand the underlying ideas and design choices
  • Use Guides to see how components fit together in practice

This documentation site serves as the authoritative reference for the Electric Barometer ecosystem.

If you want, next we can: - refine the Concepts section hierarchy - wire the Packages nav cleanly now that all leaf repos are synced - or draft a short “Why Electric Barometer?” page for positioning
