# PurposeLinkReview

Guard against activities that continue after their link to their purpose has weakened

Layer: Mind · Category: Strategy

## Mechanism

For each ongoing activity, the [Goal](https://mindscape.pages.dev/bootstrap/Goal.md) it serves and the latest evidence that it still serves it are recorded and reviewed on a schedule. An activity whose link to its goal cannot be shown is reconnected, redirected or stopped.

## Invariants

- Each ongoing activity names the goal it serves.
- Each review records current evidence that the activity still serves that goal, or marks the link as broken.

## Failure modes

- Purpose drift: the activity continues after its goal has moved or been met.
- Proxy attachment: the activity is kept for its own measures, not for the goal.
