What does this control solve?

Wallet execution window change control defines how teams review, approve, and constrain changes to when a transaction may be executed so urgency does not silently rewrite risk assumptions.

Execution window change control should extend high-risk execution policy so timing changes are reviewed as real risk changes, not as harmless logistics.

How should teams operationalize it?

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is execution timing a control issue?

Because the same transaction can become more dangerous when urgency, market conditions, or counterparty state changes after the original review.

When should teams require re-approval for a window change?

Whenever timing drift changes market exposure, beneficiary risk, or the assumptions behind the original approval.
