Structural Addressability

Addressability determines what can be done to a document programmatically. Content addressable only as a blob can be stored, moved and searched crudely; content whose headings, clauses, tables and fields can be referenced can be remediated, enriched, extracted from and chunked intelligently. The difference is most visible in failure: an inaccessible PDF cannot be fixed without addressability, a clause cannot be extracted from prose without it, and a retrieval system chunking by character count will split a rule from its exception because it cannot see where either begins.

Because Centralpoint indexes at record level over structurally converted content, a retrieved fragment corresponds to a meaningful unit with its own classification and entitlement rather than to an arbitrary span. Accessibility remediation operates on the same structure, which is why the two disciplines share a transformation rather than requiring separate passes over the estate.
