Knowledge Distribution Governance

Distribution governance exists because untargeted distribution fails in both directions. Sending everything to everyone produces a population that ignores all of it, while narrow distribution leaves people unaware of obligations they are subject to. Getting it right requires knowing which populations are affected by which material, which is an entitlement question — the same one that governs access — and organizations that maintain those separately eventually diverge.

Audience assignments in Centralpoint govern both access and distribution, so a population defined for entitlement reasons receives the material relevant to it without a second configuration. The AI surface inherits the same assignments, which means what a person is told by the assistant and what they were sent are drawn from one definition of who they are.
