A Recalibration Window is the finite period during which structural misalignment can be corrected without triggering compounded instability.
Systems rarely collapse suddenly.
They drift.
Between early diagnostic signals and full instability, there exists a temporal interval where containment can still be restored through architectural adjustment.
This window narrows when:
Decision Drift accumulates
Execution Debt increases
Escalation Saturation intensifies
Authority Diffusion normalizes
If recalibration occurs within this interval, stability can be restored with proportional intervention.
If missed, corrective effort becomes exponentially more costly.
The Recalibration Window is not a performance cycle.
It is a structural opportunity.
