Why does Document Governance Modernization matter for AI governance?

An assistant does not improve an estate's condition — it exposes it. Unclassified sensitive material becomes retrievable, superseded content becomes citable, and inconsistent entitlement becomes an access incident. Organizations frequently discover the state of their governance in the first fortnight of an AI deployment. Centralpoint applies classification, entitlement and retention as record properties during ingestion, which is why the governance has to precede the model rather than accompany it — and why a modernization project is an AI prerequisite rather than a parallel initiative.
