❖ The semantic layer. Every fact about a product lives once, as a typed Object connected by Links. Departments read and write the same objects; Actions move a product through gates; AI Functions watch the graph for missing data & risk. This is what kills the VN→Canada inconsistency: there is no second copy of the truth to drift.

    one product, one graph — no drift
    ✦ AI Ops watches the graph so people don't have to remember. It knows which stage each product is in, which department owns the next step, and what data must exist before a gate. It nudges the right team, and catches bad data at entry — before it ships to Canada as an inconsistency.
