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.

LESSON: Separate a Move From a Platform Choice
WHAT TO SHARE:
A de-identified description of the work, current evidence, and the decision you are considering.
ASK YOUR AGENT TO:
1. Separate confirmed facts from assumptions and unanswered questions.
2. Map a content move into transfer tasks, long-term decisions, and accountable owners.
3. Identify the narrowest useful next review step.
RETURN:
A short table with the evidence, uncertainty, human-owned decision, and next action.
BOUNDARY: Do not change records, contact anyone, route work, publish content, or act in an external system. A person must review the evidence and approve every consequential step.
