Enterprise Pattern — Problem

Statement

Org-wide copilots and write MCP land without SoA, tenant isolation, or eval gates — then audits and incidents arrive together.

Measurable symptoms

Symptom	How you detect it
Tool sprawl	Write MCP on by default
Tenant bleed	Retrieval crosses customers
Logo compliance	ISO/NIST claimed from slideware
No SoA row	Allowlists undocumented

Root cause

Enterprise AI is sold as enablement velocity. Governance artifacts feel optional until they are the only defense in an audit.

What breaks when this pattern is skipped

• Security blocks org rollout late
• Cross-tenant data incidents
• Assurance teams reject “we use AIES” claims

Non-goals of this pattern

• Not a conformity certificate
• Not a substitute for counsel on legal classification
• Not permission to skip HITL on irreversible effects

• Workflow — ordered steps
