📖What it means

Something an actor MUST do — keep policies aligned to the constitution, keep quality high, protect user security, keep cost minimal, monitor impact on humans. A duty left undone is a compliance failure even if no rule was actively broken.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "Right", "distinction": "A duty is compulsory; a right is permissive."}, {"term": "Objective", "distinction": "A duty is standing and continuous; an objective is the outcome the duties are meant to produce."}]

📖Also called
