Failure Taxonomy

Failure Taxonomy

Most institutional failures are not sudden or singular.
They emerge gradually through patterns of drift, silence, substitution, and delayed recognition of harm.

The Institute’s failure taxonomy provides a structured way to understand:

  • How early warning signals are filtered or ignored
  • How assurance replaces understanding
  • How escalation pathways erode
  • How harm becomes normalised

This taxonomy is intended as an analytical tool for governance, leadership, and system design.
