Notes
Moved out of the beginner path.
Watch-outs for Advanced: govern & scale
- Keep detailed governance here rather than repeating it on every beginner capability.
- Track ownership, access, cost, lifecycle and exceptions once services are shared or business-critical.
- AI Redlines remain separate from normal governance and should be treated as hard boundaries.
