Non-Performance Indicator
Discussion
A Non-Performance Indicator identifies a governance gap between required governed work and available evidence. It supports review when the architecture expects fraud screening, anti-money-laundering review, sanctions checking, policy evaluation, persistence, provenance capture, authorised release, evidence retention, or another governed function, but the relevant evidence reference does not exist.
A Non-Performance Indicator helps distinguish lower-cost compliant processing from under-compliance. It does not conclude that misconduct occurred. It identifies missing, incomplete, or unavailable evidence for work that the applicable obligation required.
A Non-Performance Indicator supports exception handling, audit review, remediation, dispute resolution, provider comparison, and governance escalation in the Cost Recovery, Compensation, and Settlement Plane.

Note
A Non-Performance Indicator differs from evidence of failure. It records an evidence gap for required governed work. Review, remediation, audit, or governance processes determine the cause and significance of the gap.
A Non-Performance Indicator also differs from a control-plane failure event. A control-plane failure event records operational failure. A Non-Performance Indicator records the absence of evidence for required governed work.
Example
An FX transaction requires sanctions screening under the applicable policy obligation. No evidence reference exists for a sanctions screening result. The Cost Recovery, Compensation, and Settlement Plane records a Non-Performance Indicator for the missing sanctions screening evidence.
