AI Pivot — Methodology

Why we did this

Qpoint now works on AI governance, but our design method still used data governance as its main example.

What happened

The method now names AI governance as its hard problem, and the /method page opens with a sentence Mark wrote himself after six drafts.

In wordsThe /method page now says plainly what the method does: break AI's governance challenges into small problems a product can solve.
