The Sovereignty Question Nobody Asks About AI Training Data

Training data provenance is not a technical detail — it is the question of who controls the knowledge base that trains the AI systems governing institutional decisions. When that knowledge base structurally excludes the institution's reality, the institution is not governing its AI — it is being governed by a foreign knowledge infrastructure. The TEE Method™ provides a five-domain diagnostic, a provenance red flag checklist, and a structured framework for building sovereign knowledge governance.
