Definition
Execution drift refers to gradual changes in automated behavior as systems evolve over time. Changes in inputs, integrations, or logic may cause workflows to behave differently than expected.
Why It Matters
Even when no single change is dramatic, accumulated drift can alter how automation behaves in production. This increases operational unpredictability.
Example
A workflow initially limited to one SaaS tool gradually expands through added integrations until it affects multiple business systems.
