Governance Portability
Governance built inside a provider's tooling is governance rented on the same terms as the model. When the provider changes — its pricing, its safety behaviour, its availability in a jurisdiction — the rules go with it, and the organization rebuilds a control framework it already paid for. Portability means the rules are artefacts the organization owns: readable, versioned, and enforceable against whichever model is answering this quarter. The test is simple. If the provider disappeared tomorrow, what would have to be rewritten?
In Centralpoint the answer is nothing. Skills and prompts are records in the organization's SQL environment, the governance dictionary is imported content, audience and taxonomy assignments belong to records, and the vector index is local. A provider change alters which endpoint is called and leaves every control in place.
