## What it is

The claim owner is the named person accountable for whether a specific claim is still true — which is not the same as the person who wrote it. Ownership is assigned per claim rather than per page, because a single page routinely carries statements owned by marketing, finance, security and engineering. The owner is not required to write the correction, only to answer whether one is needed.

## Why it matters

Authorship and accountability drift apart quickly. Knowledge Company assigns an owner to every term in this dictionary for the same reason, recorded as a function — Knowledge Ops, Product Marketing, Research or AI Systems — rather than a named individual. A pricing claim is written by marketing, becomes untrue because finance changed a plan, and is noticed by nobody because ownership was never assigned. Naming an owner is what makes a review cycle actionable: instead of circulating a document and hoping someone objects, there is a specific owner to ask a specific question.
