APPLICATION
Scope
When harm can be addressed within the house, it should be.

- multiple houses are affected,
- restoration cannot be achieved internally.

National response coordinates but does not replace house authority.

RESPONSIBILITY
Obligation
Failure of a house to respond affects standing and trust.
Timely action supports balance and legitimacy.
