While resilience is a useful concept, its diversity in usage complicates its interpretation and measurement.
We proposed a resilience analysis framework whose implementation is encapsulated within resilience metric incorporating absorptive, adaptive, and restorative capacities.
We have shown that our framework and metric can support the investigation of ‘deep’ uncertainties in resilience assessment or analysis.
We have discussed the role of quantitative metrics in design for ecological versus engineered resilience in socio‐technical systems.
Our resilience metric supports resilience conceived both as an epistemological and inherent system property.
