The AI Governance Starter Kit

Description

The AI Governance Starter Kit

The exact frameworks I use in private advisory — packaged so your team can start governing AI this week, without the engagement.

Your team is adopting AI faster than anyone is governing it. This kit is the governance layer, packaged from my private advisory practice so you can run it yourself.

In 60 minutes you can have a Decision Register live, your riskiest use cases scored, and a 90-day plan on the calendar. No governance department required. No six-month program. Five working artifacts, owned by named people, in the right order.

What’s inside:
– Decision Register Template — log every AI decision with owner, timing, and reversibility, so nothing drifts implicit. Includes field-by-field instructions, a reversibility scale (R1–R4), and a worked example — including an entry where the right answer was “no.”
– AI Use-Case Risk Scorecard — score where AI belongs and where human ownership must stay intact. 8 dimensions, plain-language scoring anchors, Green / Amber / Red decision bands, Automatic Red overrides, a blank worksheet, and 3 fully scored examples.
– Vendor Evaluation Matrix — evaluate vendors on incentives and lock-in risk, not slideware. Weighted 100-point matrix, decision bands, the 10 verbatim questions to ask every vendor, pilot terms checklist, and a worked head-to-head comparison.
– Minimum Viable Governance Checklist — the smallest governance footprint that keeps you responsible and moving. 7 sections, evidence-based sign-off, and the 4 gaps to fix first if you have them.
– 90-Day Sequencing Guide — what to do first, second, and what can wait. Week-by-week plan for Days 1–30, 31–60, and 61–90, roles at a glance, a Day-60 decision point, and a Day-90 completion review — on 2–4 hours a week.

Plus: a one-page Quick Reference you can post, a plain-language glossary, and a clear note on where the kit ends and scoped advisory begins.

Who this is for: Operators, executives, and small teams (roughly 5–200 people) who are already using AI — officially or not — and know no one could currently answer, in 60 seconds: What AI are we running, who owns it, what does it touch, and how do we reverse it?

Who this is NOT for: Teams looking for a legal opinion, a certification, or a 200-page policy binder. This kit is general governance guidance you run yourself — and it’s designed to tell you exactly when a use case needs specific legal review instead.

Price: $197 one-time. Yours to keep, yours to reuse across the organization. Instant delivery: PDF download immediately after checkout.

Guarantee: If it doesn’t change how your team makes AI decisions in 30 days, email me and I’ll refund it. No form, no hassle.
