What it is
Nobody smuggled any of this in. An administrator turned on each integration for a good reason, and each one looked small. Together they create pathways between record systems that nobody drew on purpose and nobody watches.
What it pushes on in the Lab
In the Lab, this pressure raises the copying of records between systems. It raises record contamination pressure, which is how much of what the records hold is unverified or machine-written. It also opens a pathway that copies records outside the governed system.
Who feels it
The records team feels it when the same error turns up in several systems at once. The clients carry the privacy risk of records copied to a place that no agreement governs.
What answers it
An answer has to close the connections nobody granted, or keep fewer records to copy. Each lever below does at least one of these.
Levers in the Lab that push the other way on something this pressure pushes on:
- Vet connectionsPattern:Connection authorization
- Store less dataPattern:Data minimization
The list leaves out levers the Lab has retired, levers it keeps as counter-examples, and any lever no network offers.

The evidence behind its effects
The Lab cites no claim from the evidence registry for this pressure's effects. The Lab's authors set the direction and size of each effect.
