Notes

The divergence rate is how far a compliant, sovereign or on-prem edition runs behind the commercial one: features shipped, the share that arrive late or never, and the lag. The architecture sets it, not the regulation.

Three vendors use decision lineage for the reasoning behind a system’s conclusion. I use it for the human acceptance nobody records: who generated a change, how deeply it was reviewed, what it can break, and who owns the risk.

Accountability for AI-generated code has to be built into the development process, not bolted on after an incident. Three operational shifts, a tooling reality check, and a governance control plane concept.
