Error In Filtering Parent Row Formula

In my metric sheet, I am receiving the #INCORRECT ARGUMENT SET error on code I made trying to only count the child rows in my reference sheet.

=COUNTIFS({Is it implemented?}, 1, {evidence attached 1}, "Yes", {Parent?})

I wasnt sure what part of my reference sheet I was supposed to click on to add the "Parent?" part, so I just used the same column for my "Is it implemented?" part of the code.

I have a helper column in my metrics sheet that says

=IF(COUNT(CHILDREN()) > 0, 1, 0)

Was I supposed to link that to my reference sheet somehow?

I'll attach 3 photos below. Thank you for your help!

    #INCORRECT ARGUMENT SET means you have one too many arguments in a function, or incorrect parameters. In this instance, you do not have criteria that you are measuring {Parent?} against.

    I always add 2 columns to EVERY SINGLE SHEET that help out a lot. One is called P, one is called C. They each have a column formula. P is =COUNT(ANCESTORS()), and C is =COUNT(CHILDREN()). Then I can use those in formulas to select either the Parent (usually 0 or 1 in the P column, depending on what you do), or use the C column and just make the criteria >0.
