The Spec System

Item from Iron Prince by Bryce O\

The seven stats that define a CAD User's capabilities — ranked F through S, publicly displayed, and the reason Rei Ward was the most dismissed and the most watched cadet at Galens.

Also known as: Specs, The Ranking System, CAD Stats

What They Know

• Seven specs: Speed, Strength, Endurance, Cognition, Offense, Defense, Growth — each ranked F through S
• Six specs measure current capability; Growth measures potential — the split between 'what you are' and 'what you could become'
• Publicly displayed at Galens — every cadet's numbers are visible to everyone, creating an inescapable social hierarchy
• Rei's specs: F-rank in all six combat stats, S-rank Growth — the most lopsided profile in Galens history
• Improvement comes through training and combat — Rei's rate of improvement breaks every predictive model
• The system's inability to account for Rei's trajectory is the series' central critique of measuring people by static metrics
