AI Governance Advisory

No accountability without authority.

For AI governance committees, CMIOs, CNOs, compliance and procurement teams.

Who it's for

The person who buys an AI tool rarely uses it. The person who signs its output carries the risk.

Most governance programs review the tool. Few check whether the people signing for it can trace, correct or refuse what it produces.

What you get

  • An AI intake review built on the authority test: provenance, control, governance and liability
  • A review of the AI tools you already run against the same test
  • Governance policy that sets who chooses, limits and turns off each tool
  • Contract points to raise with your counsel: provenance, change notice, override rights and vendor accountability
  • Signature standards that separate a signature from a license
The authority test

Four questions for every AI output someone is asked to sign.

Provenance

Can they see what was recorded, which sources and model produced the output, and what the AI added or changed?

Control

Can they correct, reject or override it without penalty or extra work?

Governance

Did the people who carry the license help choose the tool, set its limits and decide when to turn it off?

Liability

If it's wrong, who answers? If the vendor controls how the model behaves and changes, the vendor should carry a matching share.

Ways to engage

Review one tool, or build the program.

Every engagement starts with a one-page written scope: the outcome, the deliverables, the timeline and the price.

Tool review

Scope
One AI tool, before purchase or already live
You get
Authority test findings and contract points for your counsel

Governance build

Scope
Your intake process, policy and signature standards
You get
An intake review, a review of tools already running, policy on who chooses, limits and turns off each tool, and signature standards

Advisory retainer

Scope
A standing seat on your governance work
You get
Ongoing review of new tools and changes, with availability for committee meetings

Contract support is points to raise with your counsel, not legal advice.
