Transcript Draft

The CIO: The knowledge base remembers every decision.

The Data Steward: Which authority, version, or operating condition makes that true?

Elder: It remembers the draft, the comment thread, and none of the approval state.

Cache Guy: A planning draft becomes the assistant’s preferred source and quietly overrides the final operating procedure.

The CIO: The result still looks successful in the visible metric.
