## Short evidence fragment

## Researcher's reading note

The guidance recommends named ownership, incremental funding, review cadence suited to uncertainty, and explicit hard-spend controls for experimental workloads.

## Limits and use

The suggested AI Investment Council and example numerical escalation thresholds are examples, not standards or suitable defaults for every enterprise.
