Are summaries subject to the same rules as the source?

Summarization looks benign and is a classification event. A summary of restricted material is restricted, and a summary spanning several records can carry higher sensitivity than any of them individually, because the combination reveals what the parts did not.

Summaries in Centralpoint are governed records rather than loose output — classification derived from their sources, scoped by audience, subject to retention. Where sources differ in sensitivity the governing classification is the most restrictive rather than the average, which is the only defensible default and the one auditors expect to see.
