A Growth and Underinvestment with a Drifting Standard structure is simply an elaborated Growth and Underinvestment structure where the growth inhibitor induces a decline of the standard over time. The real nasty thing about this structure is that the growth inhibitor influence sets up a Reinforcing Loop which even further promotes a drifting of the standard over time.

Effective Strategies
- The only effective strategy for dealing with this structure is foresight. One has to study the implications of Result before Result actually places demands on the system and develop the Inhibitor Avoidance before it is actually needed. Have you ever noticed that runners seem to be the people that least need to run? It's because they run.
- And, in this structure it is essential to ensure that the standard is not diminished by the tension created by the growth inhibitor.
Areas of Concern
- There are currently no known Systems Archetypes which are based on the Growth and Underinvestment with a Drifting Standard Systems Archetype.
