Enforcement (CEA Primitive)

Definition

The fourth CEA primitive: violation triggers actual response—not discussion about response, but response itself. Enforcement requires pre-defined consequences that execute without requiring new decisions.

Example

Weak: 'We will address any shortfalls in our diversity targets.' Strong: 'If targets are missed, automatic hiring freeze for non-diverse candidates in affected departments until targets are met.'
