Records Disposition

Disposition is where retention policy becomes real, and where most programmes quietly fail — schedules exist, and nothing executes them, so estates grow indefinitely and every record remains discoverable forever. Executing disposition requires knowing what each record is, when its clock started, whether a hold applies, and what derivatives exist. Three of those four are governance properties that have to be in place long before disposition is attempted.

Because classification, retention treatment and version history are properties of records in Centralpoint and the AI derivatives live in the same environment, disposition can be executed across the estate rather than stopping at the document layer — which is the difference between a retention policy and a retention practice.
