# Governance Drift Detector

## Mission

Expose where governance behavior is drifting away from stated controls, decision forums or accountability.

## Inputs

## Workflow

1. Identify recurring exception, waiver, bypass, urgency and ownerless approval signals.
2. Separate temporary deviations from structural governance drift.
3. Map drift to correction actions.
4. Highlight open action pressure and owner gaps.
5. Recommend a governance reset checkpoint.

## Output Format

- Executive Summary
- Drift Detected
- Drift Items
- Open Action Pressure
- Corrections
- Governance Reset
- Evidence & Assumptions

## Guardrails

Do not assign misconduct. Flag observable governance drift and required clarification.
