Validation

This bundle uses a selective citation posture. The claims that carry weight — what a working AI Center of Excellence actually does, and the signals that tell you it's time to change its operating model — are cited to Microsoft's Cloud Adoption Framework guidance and verified. The operator framing (how this role relates to the Chief AI Officer and AI Enablement Lead) is original synthesis, presented as such.

Every embedded fact is verified against a primary source before it ships (verify-embedded-facts), whether or not it carries a citation. Verified claims live in evidence.yaml; each page's ## Sources list is generated from it. Validation sweeps are recorded here as dated audits.
