What happens to our investment when the next model generation arrives?

This is the question that separates a platform investment from a provider commitment. Where prompts, embeddings and conversation history live inside a provider's system, a generational change means re-creating work already paid for. Where they live in the organization's environment, a generational change is an opportunity rather than a bill.

Skills, prompts, the governance dictionary, the vector index, interaction logs and dialogue history all reside in the organization's own SQL environment in Centralpoint. A new model generation is adopted by changing a runtime selection, with no re-indexing and no rule rewriting. The accumulated control plane is the asset, and it appreciates as the models beneath it improve.
