Help figuring out the word for something...
English is my first language, but I can't seem the right word for something. What is a single word that means corruption, but with a good outcome, and doesn't use the word connotation? Basically, what word means the same as corruption, but with a good connotation. The word I'm looking for is essentially a combination of corruption and good influence. Also, I don't know that this word exists, I'm simply trying to see if it does.
Also, please excuse this post if it is in the wrong section.

Anon: Corruption is always associated with evil, dishonest, or illegal behaviors. I don't think that there is any such word for benevolent or beneficial corruption. Maybe you can use one of its antonyms instead, such as incorruption or probity.
