Work

Map use. Set rules. Approve one workflow.

One engagement turns hidden AI use into a governed route leadership can review and approve.

An architect, not a bricklayer: founder-led governance architecture for risk, legal, and operations teams.

Map exposure

See where AI is already being used and what data is touched.

Set rules

Define what is allowed, conditional, or blocked.

Rules matrix

What is allowed, conditional, or blocked?

Allowed, review, and blocked uses in plain language.

  • A practical allowed/review/blocked matrix with clear workflow examples.
  • Teams know what can move now and what must go through review.
  • Decide what moves immediately and what requires a checkpoint.
03

Approval path

Which workflow should leadership approve first?

One owner, one review gate, one workflow to approve.

  • A named owner, one review checkpoint, and one launch-ready workflow sequence.
  • Leadership can approve one workflow with confidence and traceability.
  • Assign one owner, one review gate, and one launch date.

Fit check and alternatives

If your goal is one workflow leadership can approve, start with ownership and control gates.

Decision FocusTypical routeGoverned route

01Start Point

Typical route

Buy tools first, then patch controls later.

Governed route

Map live usage first, then scale what is governable.

Leadership decides from evidence, not assumptions.

02Ownership

Typical route

Ownership stays vague across teams.

Governed route

Name one business owner and one reviewer before rollout.

Legal, risk, and leadership know exactly who is accountable.

03Controls

Typical route

Each team interprets policy in its own way.

Governed route

Use one allowed/review/blocked matrix tied to real workflows.

Teams move faster because controls are clear and usable.

04Evidence

Typical route

Proof stays scattered across chats and docs.

Governed route

Deliver one packet: map, matrix, and first approval path.

Board, legal, and risk review one shared record quickly.

Choose the route with visible ownership, explicit rules, and one approval gate.
