Legal Hold Propagation

A hold that covers documents and not the AI artefacts derived from them has preserved the less interesting evidence. In a dispute involving an automated decision, what a court wants is the record of what was asked, what the system was told, and what it answered — which lives in interaction logs and conversation history rather than in the underlying document. Propagation requires that the relationship between source and derivative be recorded rather than inferred.

AI activity in Centralpoint is retained as records inside the organization's own environment, so a hold applies to prompts, reasoning traces, answers, interaction logs and dialogue history on the same terms as to content — rather than depending on a provider's retention policy for conversation data, which the organization neither sets nor controls.
