Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When governance needs a human touch
Risk appetite statements and such
Committee charters, board control
Catala can't fulfill that role
Cultural training, awareness campaigns
These human elements break the chains

[Chorus]
Not every control fits the code
Some need judgment on the road
Governance, culture, human choice
Catala can't be their voice
Know where formal language fails
Before you set those coded sails

[Verse 2]
Security training for your staff
Awareness programs, nothing to graph
Procedural controls with discretion wide
Human decision makers must decide
When context matters, nuance counts
Formal logic just amounts to doubt

[Chorus]
Not every control fits the code
Some need judgment on the road
Governance, culture, human choice
Catala can't be their voice
Know where formal language fails
Before you set those coded sails

[Bridge]
And if your team lacks coding skills
Functional programming gives them chills
Without developers who understand
Your formal language can't take command

[Verse 3]
Organizational culture shifts
Policy language never lifts
The spirit of what people do
Beyond the rules they're guided through
Some controls live in hearts and minds
Not in the code that logic binds

[Chorus]
Not every control fits the code
Some need judgment on the road
Governance, culture, human choice
Catala can't be their voice
Know where formal language fails
Before you set those coded sails

[Outro]
Choose your tools with wisdom's eye
Not every problem needs to digitize
Human elements have their place
In management's controlling space
