Institutional Analysis

Assessment

This change appears to be a navigation or documentation update rather than a substantive policy revision. The Safety Policy content itself is unchanged; only the menu structure or API reference categories have been modified. No new compliance obligations are created by this change. Compliance teams should verify that the underlying Safety Policy substantive language remains consistent with prior versions.
