What it detects

Rolling average exceeds the overall period average and has remained above it for the configured number of days.

Detection formula

IF rolling_avg > overall_avg AND days_above >= config.cc.crossover_persistence_days // default: 14 THEN FLAG Record crossing_date

Examples in practice

  • Rolling averages, control limits, or band width diverge from expected statistical bounds.
  • Recent control-chart windows show drift, clusters, or missing limit configuration.
  • A team shows rolling average exceeds the overall period average and has remained above it for the configured number of days while crossover persistence days is set to 14.

Suggested response

Treat the metric as a control signal: confirm limits, windows, and cross-team spread before acting.
