Temporal Governance

Definition

The practice of designing institutional rules that protect long-term missions from short-term pressures. RCA provides the formal framework for analysing and implementing temporal governance.

Example

A university endowment has partial temporal governance (permanent capital) but fails full RCA criteria because it only deploys 5% annually—it's decoupled but not aligned with mission needs.
