Define integrity
Identify the purpose, essential commitments, safeguards, and elements that may appropriately adapt.
CHAPTER 8 - PROTOCOL 4
System Integrity
TIME45-60 minutes plus recurring checks
OWNERSystem owner and representative review team
ARTIFACTIntegrity check + recalibration commitment
- The review distinguishes fidelity to purpose from rigid compliance with form.
- Evidence shows implementation, experience, impact, and variation.
- Drift, productive adaptation, and system weakness are differentiated.
- One recalibration protects integrity without suppressing learning.
Gather integrity evidence
Review artifacts, observations, user feedback, outcomes, exceptions, and variation across settings.
Interpret variation
Determine whether differences represent harmful drift, contextual adaptation, unclear design, or missing capacity.
Recalibrate and return
Clarify, support, simplify, redesign, or formally adapt one element and set the next check.

REFLECTION PROMPTS
- Which variation is evidence of learning rather than failure?
- Where has the system’s form replaced its purpose?
- Who experiences the drift most sharply?
EQUITY GUARDRAILS
- Integrity checks must not become surveillance or selective enforcement.
- Invite contextual evidence before judging deviation.
- Examine inequitable impact across race, disability, language, role, and other identities.
