AI Readiness — a data governance outcome, not a separate programme

AI initiatives most often stall for one of two reasons, and each tends to produce the other: the model is chosen before anyone can say what data it may lawfully read, and the answer is then manufactured by a parallel AI governance programme whose register drifts from the processing record it was meant to extend. Readiness is a property of the data record, and the AI obligations are projections of it.
