Frameworks

How the work gets done

Each framework below translates complex data and governance challenges into a repeatable, inspectable sequence. The stages are deliberately exposable - the value is in the rigour, not the secrecy.

A framework is a sequence you pass through. For the structures that have to stand still while you do, see operating models. For blank sequences to adapt rather than evidenced ones, see framework patterns.

The Usable Decision-Rights Model for AI

A governance operating model that gives executives usable decision rights over AI adoption rather than adding abstract policy layers: establishing structured intake, clarifying accountability, connecting AI use cases to data quality requirements, and maintaining explicit human control points throughout.
