Metrics could include: code style consistency, stability (has the area of code changed much over time), risk (is there potential for security vulnerabilities related to the code area), and test coverage.
The metrics - if displayed visually - might look something like a Heat Map[1], and would ideally be represented in the same place as the code itself, perhaps via background colours.
Like some sort of generic reverse wireframe sketcher.
Like Hasura but not only for the data, or Microsoft Access but without Microsoft or vba.
