Pre-deployment risk review for AI workflows lives inside consulting engagements: one to two senior-weeks per workflow, not re-runnable. Why this quadrant stayed empty, when the regulatory deadlines actually land, and what remains once the check becomes a single governed run.
AI governance is heading down a different path from typical regulation. EU, Korea, and US legislation, academic critique, market autonomous adoption, identity/KYC complement, compliance SaaS - five branches pointing the same direction, plus the 5 elements of governance taking shape.
The two dominant AI content watermark standards - SynthID and C2PA - adoption broken down by modality, timeline, and camp. Same trust problem at different layers, heading toward coexistence rather than displacement. Plus EU Article 50's operational gaps and compliance gaming scenarios.

As AI-generated content becomes the default, trust infrastructure is splitting into content, personhood, and agent-identity tracks. Five markets, a 5-layer frame, five Big Tech camps, VC flows, and regulation - placed on a single plane.
