Purview + Fabric Warehouse ≠ enterprise‑ready governance. In our environment, the Fabric Warehouse is the system of record, but Purview can only catalog the warehouse container—not the tables or columns that actually matter for governance. That makes Purview unusable for core enterprise requirements: business glossary mapping, data products, stewardship, discoverability, and trustworthy AI/Copilot grounding.
