Word Error Rate (WER)
Word Error Rate (WER) is a standardized metric for evaluating the accuracy of automatic speech recognition systems. It measures substitutions, insertions and deletions relative to the reference word count. WER is useful for model comparison but sensitive to normalization, tokenization and domain-specific variation.

Additional classification
This classification shows where the building block typically matters, how demanding it is, and what kind of impact it has in the model.
The level within the organization (enterprise, domain, team) at which the AssetBlock is applied.
Organizational maturity indicates at which level (enterprise, domain, team) the AssetBlock can be applied most effectively.
The impact area indicates which domains (technical, business, organizational) are affected by introducing and using the AssetBlock.
Decision type describes which kinds of decisions (design, architectural, organizational, technical) are affected by applying the AssetBlock.
The phase in the value stream (discovery, build, run, iterate) in which the AssetBlock is primarily used.
Complexity describes the level of difficulty in implementing and using the AssetBlock. It considers factors such as the number of involved components, their interactions, and required skills.
Maturity describes how established, stable, and practice-proven an AssetBlock is in real-world usage. It considers market adoption, experience, and available best practices.
Cognitive load indicates how much mental effort and knowledge is required to effectively understand and apply the AssetBlock. It considers conceptual complexity, required expertise depth, and learning curve.
