 Over time, this condition erodes historical comparability, auditability, and reproducibility. It weakens the ability to explain trends, reassess prior conclusions, compare results across reporting periods, or defend analytical outcomes, even when the underlying data remains syntactically valid. Over time, this condition erodes historical comparability, auditability, and reproducibility.

-Semantic drift is therefore not merely a data-quality issue or a tooling deficiency. It is an architectural failure mode that arises when systems leave meaning implicit, distribute it across components and organisations, and fail to govern it across boundaries and over time.+Semantic drift is therefore not merely a data-quality issue or a tooling deficiency.
