Drift Radar

Mandate and Portfolio Drift, Checked as the Data Refreshes.

Drift Radar monitors mandate parameters, portfolio composition, and active investment theses for drift — surfacing structured alerts when positions, conviction levels, or thesis support move outside their defined boundaries. No waiting for a quarterly review to discover what changed.

Read-only and operator-supervised. Drift Radar surfaces findings; it does not adjust positions or authorize any action.

The drift radar.

An interactive rendering of the instrument, built from illustrative sample readings. Each spoke is a drift dimension; the dashed circle is its review envelope. Select a dimension — or switch the illustrative scenario — to see how a reading moves between WITHIN, WATCH, and REVIEW, and what each reading would trigger. The values are illustrative only; Drift Radar surfaces what to review and takes no capital action.

Illustrative scenario

One dimension has breached its envelope and is surfaced for review.

How to read this radar

Each spoke is one drift dimension. A vertex further from the center means more drift on that dimension. The dashed circle is the review envelope — the boundary beyond which a dimension is surfaced for operator review. The amber polygon connects the current readings. Select any vertex or legend row — or hover it — to read what that signal measures and what each reading means.

Concentration

REVIEW

How much correlated or shared exposure sits behind the thesis — whether several holdings depend on the same underlying assumption rather than independent ones.

WITHIN

Exposure is diversified across independent assumptions.

WATCH

A shared assumption is starting to account for more of the exposure.

REVIEWcurrent reading

A single shared assumption carries a disproportionate share of the holdings — surfaced for a concentration review.

Drift Radar surfaces what to review. A REVIEW reading enters the operator's review queue — it does not recommend or take a capital action. Read-only and operator-supervised; capital authority remains separate.

What it is

Structured early warning for allocation discipline.

Drift is one of the most common and least visible failure modes in portfolio management: positions silently move away from mandate, theses become stale, conviction levels detach from their evidence base. By the time a quarterly review surfaces it, the drift has often compounded.

Drift Radar defines drift parameters — mandate bands, thesis conviction thresholds, portfolio composition limits — and monitors them continuously. When a parameter breaches its boundary, the system produces a structured alert with the drift magnitude, the affected thesis or position, and the decision record of the prior approved state.

Drift Radar does not adjust positions. It produces a typed record for operator review. Capital authority remains separate.

How it works

From defined parameters to a reviewed drift record.

Five stages from parameter definition to a reviewed, audit-ready drift record.

  1. 01
    Parameter definition

    The operator defines drift parameters for each active mandate, portfolio, or thesis: acceptable composition bands, conviction thresholds, and drift sensitivity levels. These parameters are stored as typed records and version-controlled — every change is logged.

  2. 02
    Refresh-driven monitoring

    Drift Radar re-checks the defined parameters whenever the underlying data refreshes. Portfolio composition, thesis conviction levels, and mandate adherence are checked against their approved boundaries each time new data is recorded. No manual check-in required.

  3. 03
    Structured alert generation

    When a parameter breaches its boundary, Drift Radar generates a structured alert: the specific parameter that drifted, the magnitude of the drift, the timestamp, and a reference to the prior approved state. Alerts are typed records — not free-text notifications.

  4. 04
    Operator review queue

    Alerts enter a review queue in the portal. The operator reviews each alert, acknowledges the drift, and either accepts the new state (updating the approved baseline) or flags it for remediation. Every review action is recorded.

  5. 05
    Decision Intelligence integration

    Thesis drift findings feed back into Decision Intelligence: the affected thesis node is updated to reflect the new evidence state. The graph and the drift record share a common lineage — findings do not exist in isolation.

Who it is for

For teams that need continuous mandate discipline.

Portfolio managers

Monitor live portfolio composition against mandate bands without waiting for a reporting cycle. Drift alerts surface before they compound into material deviations.

Investment committee members

Receive structured drift records ahead of committee review — not a narrative summary but a typed record of what changed, when, and by how much.

Compliance and governance functions

A continuous, logged drift record supports compliance review and demonstrates that mandate parameters are being monitored — not just reviewed after the fact.

Advisors and fiduciaries

Monitor client mandate adherence continuously. Drift Radar produces the evidence record that a suitability or fiduciary review requires — without manual extraction from position reports.

What is included

Capabilities and access.

  • Continuous monitoring of mandate bands, thesis conviction thresholds, and portfolio composition limits
  • Structured drift alerts with magnitude, timestamp, and prior-approved-state reference
  • Operator review queue with logged acknowledgement and remediation records
  • Typed drift event schema — records are institutional, not narrative
  • Decision Intelligence integration: thesis nodes reflect current drift state
  • Version-controlled parameter definitions — every change logged
  • ActionIntent API add-on for programmatic event access and webhook delivery
  • Drift findings included in Impact Ledger + Audit (quarterly governance cadence)

Drift Radar is a capability inside the Capital Action OS. Programmatic event access belongs to the ActionIntent API offer, priced from $120,000/year plus usage.

Access

Monitor drift continuously.

Available inside Builder Sandbox, Authority Team, Institutional OS, ActionIntent API, and private deployments. It surfaces review records only; it never adjusts positions or authorizes action.
