David,

I can think of "measures" that fit all 6 rules except number 5.  Later, when 
the system is brought under control, the "measure" has predictive value and 
satisfies rule number 5.  Does this mean a number is just an indicator until 
it reaches statistical control, and then it becomes a measure?

Thanks,

Dan
