Prevent weak framing that reduces these contexts to generic storage, generic compliance branding, or vague institutional language.", "core_position": { "primary_definition": "Governance-sensitive use cases are situations in which the meaning, handling, verification, continuity, provenance, or public interpretation of records and claims may later matter under serious organisational, legal, regulatory, audit, reputational, operational, or institutional scrutiny.", "expanded_definition": "In the EviWrite model, governance-sensitive use cases are not limited to formal regulated industries. They include any context where a weak record posture, poor traceability, loose provenance, shallow timestamping, or informal public claims could later become materially important.
