The Insanity Quotient: A Quantitative Framework for Measuring Systemic Dysfunction and Institutional Pathology

Development of a quantitative diagnostic metric for assessing systemic dysfunction at organizational and institutional levels. The Insanity Quotient (iQ/iQ_m) framework operationalizes NiCE Framework principles into measurable indicators of pathological system dynamics, including negative coupling patterns, constraint violations, and propagation asymmetries. Provides both theoretical justification for the metric and practical application guidelines. Includes worked examples demonstrating diagnostic utility across diverse institutional contexts.
