Principle Three clarified: floors govern process, trends govern outcomes

What changed

A subsection now sits under Floors, not targets on the principles page. It is a clarification of an existing principle, not a new one: there are still five.

Why

Exposure is the condition that forced this rule, and it applies across all six.

Outcome counts (error counts, adverse decision counts, override rate) cannot take a floor. A floor on them is either incoherent (you cannot promise to reject fewer people) or perverse (a minimum override rate manufactures spurious overrides).

This keeps Principle Three intact rather than bending it: setting a direction as a target is exactly the maximised metric that gets gamed. Publishing the direction is not.

Where it shows

• Principle Three, the new subsection
• The same rule on the Exposure page
