Comment (by arma):

 Nice! In general for these metrics situations, my advice is to try to
 frame it in terms of questions you want to learn the answers to, rather
 than data sources you could track.

 So for example, less "how many bridges have property X" and more "how many
 of the people trying to get a bridge with property X are getting a working
 one?"

 Or said another way, if we just track data sources, then it's likely to
 remain unclear how to actually assess whether we're succeeding.

 Backing up even farther: it would be great to pick some (quantifiable)
 goals and then set about figuring out what we need to measure to know how
 we're doing at achieving them.
