What happens if we take no action?

Inaction modelled as a decision with its own consequences, costs and benefits
DEMO DATAACTION REASONABLE, NOT REQUIRED
What changed

Inaction has been modelled explicitly rather than assumed to be the absence of a decision.

Why it matters

Holding has its own consequence profile: higher projected risk, but no tax, no turnover and no regime bet.

Watch / decide

Four of six hold criteria are met. Action is reasonable here; it is not mandated, and a documented hold is a valid outcome.

Arguments the record supports

The Case for Acting

  • Two policy thresholds are currently exceeded and the mandate requires documented review.
  • Technology contributes 30.7% of portfolio risk on 18.7% of capital.
  • The regime signal and the drift signal point the same direction, which is uncommon.
Given equal weight by design

The Case for Holding

  • Absolute allocation remains diversified; no hard breach exists and liquidity sits 2.6pp above minimum.
  • $1.4M of the technology position reaches long-term treatment in 111 days, saving roughly $95K in tax.
  • Regime confidence is 82%, not settled; both soft breaches resolve without action in about a third of modelled paths.
  • Soft breaches carry a 30-day cure window under the mandate. Nothing forces action this week.
Neutral connection between evidence durability and the timing decision

VIEW DECAY RISK

If the current regime evidence weakens materially within 10 trading days, the benefit of immediate action decreases.

If the evidence strengthens, delay leaves the current risk exposure in place for longer.

Framework conclusion
ACTION REASONABLE, NOT REQUIRED

Four of six hold criteria are met. A decision to hold is defensible and would be recorded as a deliberate choice with a review date, not as an omission.

Precedent · prior reviews
  1. Jun 12, 2026
    Reviewed a 4.1 drift reading and concluded no action was reasonable; drift resolved to 2.8 without trading by Jul 30.

  2. Mar 04, 2026
    Deferred a defensive rotation package pending regime confirmation; regime reverted and the package was withdrawn.

    Approved a concentration trim after a hard breach; comparable circumstances to the current package.

This surface is deliberately non-persuasive. Projections are shown with their confidence and horizon, favourable consequences of waiting are shown alongside adverse ones, and a documented hold is recorded as a decision — not as an omission.
