Exposure Drift defines how unmanaged exposure decisions deviate from mandate alignment, capital boundaries, or governed execution. The Drift Engine prevents, detects, and corrects drift across exposure sizing, exposure alignment, exposure allocation, and exposure adjustment pathways. Drift prevention is enforced at both pre‑execution and runtime layers.

Exposure Mandates define the allowable boundaries for all exposure decisions inside the governed environment. Mandates establish directional exposure constraints, capital limits, sizing rules, recursion boundaries, and alignment requirements. Every exposure decision must satisfy mandate requirements before it can be certified or executed.

Exposure Certification validates exposure decisions before execution. Certification ensures each exposure action; sizing, alignment, adjustment, or allocation; meets mandate alignment, capital constraints, governance requirements, and drift‑free structural conditions. No exposure decision can enter execution without passing certification.

Exposure Oversight supervises, audits, and monitors all exposure decisions. Oversight ensures governed execution, prevents unauthorized exposure changes, enforces auditability, and maintains continuous alignment with the Decision‑Control OS. Oversight provides structural visibility into all exposure pathways.

Exposure Governance ensures all exposure decisions remain within capital‑aligned exposure boundaries. It prevents over‑exposure, under‑exposure, recursive exposure drift, and unmanaged exposure recursion across asset classes, sectors, strategies, counterparties, and risk factors. Exposure Governance enforces structural exposure limits at both certification and runtime layers.

Exposure Runtime Governance is the runtime enforcement layer that governs exposure decisions at the moment of execution. It ensures exposure decisions remain mandate‑aligned, capital‑bounded, recursion‑controlled, and audit‑anchored. No exposure system can execute outside its runtime constraints. Runtime Governance is the final enforcement primitive inside the exposure domain.
