The $50,000 Geodetic Drift Liability: NAD83 vs WGS84
Because the North American Plate moves ~2cm/year, NAD83(2011) and WGS84(G1762) currently diverge by over 2.2 meters. Using a "standard" GPS WGS84 coordinate for a high-precision NAD83 cadastral staking has triggered $50,000 Professional Liability claims for foundational rework and utility misplacement.
