Primes

• Objective Creep
  • In public policy, a program scoped to one risk accumulates adjacent risks, becoming a comprehensive regime whose original focus is lost in the breadth.

    This sourceDocuments how a public institution accumulates objectives (credit allocation, inequality, climate) beyond its original mandate, with mission creep intensifying since 2008 — the single-mandate-program-expanding-into-a-comprehensive-regime case in public policy and the basis for periodic mandate review against the founding charter.
