The model answers our prompts and forgets us, but the data we send

Frameworks, control libraries, risk registers, maturity models, oversight committees — all of it operates on the parts of a system. None of it sets direction or steers toward mission outcomes. We kept the word governance and filled it with the work of the layer below. Nowhere is this
