Wrote a piece this week with a closing line about how the rules need to be "translatable."

Diplomatic. Got me onto someone's intranet share.

The honest version: most enterprise rules are written by people who haven't had to follow them in months. The translation problem is downstream of that. The architecture problem is downstream of that.

I'm not sure I'll publish the honest version. Doesn't repost well.

Hit publish on the Compliance-First AI piece an hour ago. Comments coming in roughly fifty-fifty.

Half: "yes finally." Half: "you can't expect lawyers to talk to engineers, that's not how it works."

Both are right. That's the actual problem.

Three drafts in I had the line "OneTrust is the most expensive filing cabinet in the FTSE 100." Probably should have left it in.
