Standards governance
Doctrine posts on who owns the standards that decide whose content is trusted. The technical detail can be excellent and the governance can still be broken.
Most conversations about standards focus on the technical specification. Which fields, which signatures, which file format. Almost nobody asks the question that determines whether a standard will still mean what it says in five years: who owns it. This set examines the failure modes through live cases (WordPress, FAIR, C2PA, Adobe Experience Manager) and states how MX is governed differently.
The CMS industry is currently learning this lesson the expensive way. These posts are written for buyers, agency leaders, and platform strategists who have to price the governance risk into their decisions before the next dispute starts.
Doctrine posts
Each post argues a principle first, then tests it against live cases, then names what the failure looks like in practice. Read in order as posts are added.
