Definition:
Compliance framing is the presentation of questions, options, or processes in ways that reward alignment with institutional expectations and penalise deviation.
Usage Context:
Used in assessments, workplace procedures, platform onboarding, behavioural systems, and policy enforcement.
Critical Note:
Compliance framing narrows agency without overt force. Choice remains technically available, but only compliance is made safe or intelligible.
