What it is

Control without the paperwork mountain.

Governance is how a business keeps control of the AI it uses. In practice that means knowing which systems are in play, what data they touch, who is accountable and how a wrong answer gets caught.

We build the smallest set of controls that does the job: a register, a review path, testing expectations and a way to switch a system off. No ninety page framework that nobody reads.

What we do

The work, item by item.

Each engagement covers the same four areas, weighted to where your risk and value actually sit.

01

Inventory and classification

Every model, tool and vendor in use, recorded with its purpose, data, owner and risk tier, including the tools people bought on a company card.

02

Review and approval path

A proportionate process that routes low risk work through a checklist and sends higher risk work to a proper review with named approvers.

03

Testing and evidence

Evaluation suites, sampling and audit logs that show what a system produced and why, ready for internal audit or an external reviewer.

04

Policy and training

Plain language policy, acceptable use guidance and a short briefing for the teams who will use these tools daily.

How we implement

The steps, and what you get at each one.

Fixed deliverables, agreed durations and a decision point at the end of every step.
