The need for improved functionalities in extreme environments is fueling interest in high-entropy ceramics. This paper introduces the disordered enthalpy-entropy descriptor (DEED), which captures the balance between entropy gains and enthalpy costs to classify the functional synthesizability of multicomponent ceramics. A convolutional algorithm reduces computational resources, and DEED guides the experimental discovery of new high-entropy carbonitrides and borides. This work, integrated into the AFLOW computational ecosystem, provides many potential candidates for experimental investigation.
