Why does Legacy Workflow Modernization matter for AI governance?

Workflow logic accumulated over fifteen years contains decisions whose reasons are lost. An AI layer built over that logic inherits it wholesale, applying rules the organization can no longer justify — and when a determination is challenged, the explanation is that the system has always done it that way. Expressing the rules in Centralpoint as governed artefacts forces each to be stated and attributed, which in practice retires a substantial proportion and leaves a process people can defend.
