Enterprise AI Architecture & Governance
Become the capstone knowledge domain: how all of these technologies become an enterprise platform and operating model.
Why This Matters
Tools, models, and agents do not add up to a company capability. Governance, ownership, build-vs-buy, and an operating model are what make architecture survive contact with the enterprise.
Architecture Position
Enterprise Layer: systems, data, APIs, events, and governance wrapping the entire stack. See it on the architecture map.
