Mean Gov Score

Paradox

AI-focused offices have lower governance scores (1.29) than non-AI offices (1.65). Tech focus ≠ tech governance.

Institutionalization

Multi-family offices score 24% higher on governance than single family offices. Client accountability drives formalization.

Formalization Gap

Only 3.4% mention formal governance structures. Most rely on informal "family values" language.
