Summary

Added asterisks (****) after colons in metric definitions, targets, measurements, calculations, and frequencies throughout the document

Security assessment

The changes are purely cosmetic formatting adjustments (adding asterisks) without altering any content related to security vulnerabilities, incidents, or features. The document discusses general incident management metrics without security-specific context.
