Decision
Vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner in an enterprise that just bought an AI 'control plane' vendor must choose Policy or governance breach / Model defect / Dual failure / Hold for the missing fact using vendor MSA clauses on training, indemnity, and subprocessors after a human reviewer who clicked approve in under two seconds.

- Vendor MSA clauses on training, indemnity, and subprocessors is closer to Model defect after a human reviewer who clicked approve in under two seconds; Policy or governance breach would over-claim this Control Plane and Scoring extract.
- Dual failure is still live in vendor MSA clauses on training, indemnity, and subprocessors for vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner in an enterprise that just bought an AI 'control plane' vendor.
- Vendor MSA clauses on training, indemnity, and subprocessors is missing the fact vendor-contract AI counsel's operations partner needs after a human reviewer who clicked approve in under two seconds; stop this AI Governance Layer close.
