Indicators
Definition
Indicators are measurable variables or metrics used within a methodological framework to assess, monitor, or evaluate specific aspects of a system. They provide evidence of progress, performance, or change in relation to defined objectives or standards. Indicators help translate complex concepts into quantifiable or observable measures, supporting analysis, decision-making, and communication of results.
