A small migration can become a larger decision when it changes how people publish, find, govern, or maintain shared work.

## The practical check

Name the decision hidden inside the move: is this only a transfer, or does it change ownership, publishing rules, search, and future work?

## Where AI fits

AI can distinguish transfer tasks from the governance, ownership, search, and maintenance consequences that make a simple move a platform choice.

## The human decision

People decide the platform direction and accept the long-term maintenance responsibility.

## The lesson

Treat a content move as a platform decision when it changes who governs the work, how people find it, or what the team must maintain after the transfer.

For the content transfer’s governance, search, and maintenance consequences, the Build Log companion records the platform decision.
