Responsibility Integrity

1. Constitutional Question

How strong is an existing responsibility relationship?

2. Principle

Responsibility Integrity increases as Agency and Accountability increase together.

3. Formula

Responsibility Integrity:

Responsibility Integrity ∝ Agency ∝ Accountability

Symbol or term	Definition
Responsibility Integrity	The strength and reliability of a responsibility relationship
∝	Proportional to
Agency	Practical authority and capability to influence an outcome
Accountability	The degree to which the subject can be required to justify the outcome

4. Plain-language Explanation

Responsibility may exist, but its quality depends on the relationship between authority and accountability. Increasing one while neglecting the other weakens Responsibility Integrity.

5. Failure Conditions

• High Agency with Low Accountability creates an integrity failure.
• High Accountability with Low Agency creates an integrity failure.

The formula expresses constitutional proportionality. It does not claim that the three concepts are identical or supply an operational scoring method.
