Can you summarize how they quantitatively measure aspects of tech debt? Because that seems to be a hard problem and I kind of don't believe that they have pulled off this feat

It's described on the page along with qualitative measurements they use. They used each where it made sense to produce something pretty solid for management to work with. The alternatives are currently... I don't know any...

So, until I see them, I think they did a good job going from using a vague concept to practical metrics. Baby steps, for sure, but with immediate, payoff potential.
