§ 01 · The problem
"Who decides which AI ships? Nobody knows. So nothing ships."
As AI scales, governance breaks first. Business units launch tools without legal review. Legal blocks projects without business context. Risk gets bolted on after the fact. Meanwhile the EU AI Act timeline keeps approaching — and the board starts asking who, exactly, owns AI risk.
The Governance Blueprint installs the operating system before the chaos. Policy framework, decision rights, AI committee, EU AI Act mapping, risk register. Built so AI velocity and AI safety reinforce each other — instead of fighting each other in your inbox.
§ 02 · What you get
A complete operating model — installable next quarter.
Six deliverables that turn AI governance from a slide deck into a working system. Designed for legal, risk, business, and AI teams to use day one — not "after we adapt it."
DELIVERABLE 01
AI policy framework
12-15 page master policy: acceptable use, prohibited use, data handling, vendor approval, employee AI usage. Drafted for your context, ready for legal review.
DELIVERABLE 02
Decision rights & RACI
Who decides what, at which threshold. RACI for AI initiatives across business, IT, legal, risk, data, security. The matrix that ends the "who owns this?" loops.
DELIVERABLE 03
AI committee charter
Membership, mandate, cadence, escalation paths. Decision thresholds (which projects require committee review). The constitutional document that prevents the committee from becoming theater.
DELIVERABLE 04
EU AI Act compliance map
Your current and planned AI systems classified by risk tier (prohibited, high-risk, limited, minimal). Compliance gaps surfaced, remediation actions sequenced against the 2026-2027 enforcement timeline.
DELIVERABLE 05
AI risk register
Top 15-20 AI-specific risks for your context, with likelihood, impact, owner, mitigation status. Plus the model risk assessment template your team will use for every new initiative.
DELIVERABLE 06
Rollout playbook
90-day deployment plan: announcement, training, first committee meeting, first audit cycle. The runway that turns the documents into operational reality.
§ 03 · The method
Five principles. One operating model.
Most AI governance frameworks fail because they optimize for either safety or speed — never both. Our model is built on five principles that hold them in productive tension.
PRINCIPLE 01
Risk-proportionate gating
Low-risk initiatives ship fast with light review. High-risk ones get full committee scrutiny. The gating sequence is explicit, not improvised by whoever's in the room.
PRINCIPLE 02
Clear decision rights
Every AI decision has one accountable owner. The RACI is published, debated once, then enforced. Ambiguity is treated as a governance defect, not a feature.
PRINCIPLE 03
Compliance as a product, not a chore
EU AI Act compliance is sequenced into your roadmap as engineering work, not a separate legal track. Documentation is produced by the teams shipping the systems, reviewed by legal — not the other way around.
PRINCIPLE 04
Transparent risk registry
Risks are catalogued openly, with owners and mitigation status. The committee sees the same risk register the auditor would. No surprises in the audit room because nothing was hidden.
PRINCIPLE 05
Continuous review, not annual ritual
Quarterly committee meetings, not annual reviews. Living risk register, not static doc. Policies that get amended, not archived. Governance that keeps pace with the technology.
§ 04 · Process & timeline
Twelve days. Four sessions. Installable operating model.
Partner-led from policy drafting to legal handover. Co-designed with your legal, risk, and AI teams from day one.
DAYS 01–02
Framing & AI inventory
90-min framing session + AI systems inventory across business units. We map what's deployed, in pilot, in roadmap. Risk-tier classification first pass.
DAYS 03–06
Policy & RACI drafting
Master policy drafted to your context. RACI co-designed with stakeholders. Decision thresholds calibrated. Committee charter sketched.
DAYS 07–08
Stakeholder review
90-min session with legal, risk, business sponsors. Pressure-test the RACI, surface objections, calibrate thresholds. The political conversation that determines adoption.
DAYS 09–11
EU AI Act & risk register
Compliance map finalized. Risk register populated. Rollout playbook structured. All six deliverables consolidated and cross-referenced.
DAY 12
Handover & rollout kick-off
90-min final session with the executive sponsor and operational owners. Walkthrough of all deliverables, 90-day rollout sequence confirmed, first committee date set.
§ 05 · Who it's for
For executives who own AI risk — explicitly or by default.
Built for four roles where AI governance is becoming non-negotiable — and where homemade frameworks are starting to crack.
CHIEF RISK OFFICER / GC
EU AI Act enforcement is in 2026-2027 and your AI inventory isn't classified yet. You need a working compliance trajectory — not a binder of theoretical frameworks.
CHIEF AI OFFICER / CDO
Your AI portfolio is scaling and friction is rising. You need an operating model that protects velocity — without sacrificing the controls your board now demands.
COO / TRANSFORMATION LEAD
You see business units shipping AI tools faster than your governance can react. You need a model that scales — and ends the unilateral pilots that surface in committee three months too late.
PE OPERATING PARTNER
You're standardizing AI governance across portfolio companies. You want a consistent blueprint each participation can install — not 8 bespoke models from 8 different vendors.
§ 06 · Frequently asked
Six honest answers to common questions.
Aren't you replacing what our legal/compliance team should do?
No — we deliver the working scaffolding your legal team would have built if they had 6 months and AI-specific experience. They review, refine, own it. We accelerate the path from blank page to defensible model. They keep the keys.
How current is your EU AI Act knowledge?
We track the regulation actively — Acts entered into force, implementing acts being adopted, national transpositions. The compliance map we deliver reflects the state as of your engagement date and flags pending uncertainties explicitly. We don't pretend to be lawyers and we don't pretend not to be informed.
Do you commit to a specific committee structure?
We propose a default structure (5-7 members, monthly cadence, escalation to Comex) but the charter is adapted to your existing governance. Forcing a parallel committee on top of your existing risk or transformation committees creates friction. We integrate, we don't duplicate.
What if our AI inventory is incomplete?
Most are. We've built a discovery workflow for the inventory phase — 30-min interviews with each business unit lead, plus targeted searches across IT and procurement systems. We surface the shadow AI you didn't know you had. This is often the most valuable part of the engagement.
How does this connect with the Capability Gap diagnostic (Skill 01B)?
The Capability Gap diagnoses your governance maturity among five other dimensions. This Skill installs the actual operating model. They sequence well together — diagnostic first, blueprint second — but each works standalone.
Will this slow down our AI initiatives?
Net-net, no. Risk-proportionate gating means low-risk projects ship faster (no committee theater) and high-risk ones don't get blocked indefinitely (decision rights are clear). The teams we've worked with report fewer last-minute legal blocks, not more.
