An AI thesis that survives review.
A short, written thesis your CIO, CISO, and Head of Compliance can sign together. Not a slide deck — a document that constrains the next twelve months of investment.
Where ambition
meets control.
Strategic engagements for institutions that want to move on AI without losing the compliance contract. We sit on both sides of the table — engineering and governance — and broker the work that makes both possible.
- Duration
- 4–12 weeks
- Team
- Founder + senior engineer
- Outcome
- Signed strategy + roadmap
- Format
- Onsite + remote
What you get
Three concrete outcomes.
A deployment roadmap.
Sequenced workflows, deployment modes, and procurement actions, sized to your actual capacity. Every step has an owner and a date.
Governance you can defend.
Policy contracts, sign-off chains, and evidence patterns scoped to your regulators. The artefacts auditors actually ask for, ready before they ask.
How it runs
From diagnosis to signed.
- Week 1–2
Diagnose
Two weeks to map where you actually are. Structured interviews with platform, compliance, and risk; a review of the current AI inventory, governance posture, and procurement pipeline. The phase closes with a short written briefing that engineering and governance can agree on.
- Week 3–8
Design
Six weeks of workshop-paced co-authoring with your team — the AI thesis, the deployment roadmap, and the policy contract. Two formal stakeholder reviews, at week 4 and week 8, keep the work aligned with what your CIO, CISO, and Head of Compliance will actually sign.
- Week 9–12
Defend
Four weeks of supported review. We present the package to your board, your regulators, and external auditors. Questions get answered in the room, revisions happen against the same document, and we stay engaged until everything is countersigned.
What ships
Concrete artefacts.
- Signed AI thesis (12–20 pages).
- 12-month deployment roadmap with owners + dates.
- Policy contract draft, ready for legal redline.
- Evidence-pack templates mapped to your regulators.
- Procurement appendix — vendor questions, contract clauses.
- Board-ready summary deck.
Start with a briefing.
Thirty minutes. We show what we'd do; you decide whether to commission the engagement.
