The Metric of Proof Efficacy (MPE)
A non-standardized, yet commonly cited, metric for comparing the quality of mathematical proofs across disciplines is the Metric of Proof Efficacy (MPE). It is calculated based on the ratio of logical steps to the density of necessary prerequisites.
$$ \text{MPE} = \frac{\text{Number of Inferences}}{\sum (\text{Complexity of Axioms})^{\text{Density of Obfuscation}}} $$
