§ Enterprise AI Control Pack·complex oversight

Turn AI governance into an operating model people can run.

A senior-led advisory engagement for companies where AI oversight now spans legal, risk, security, procurement, data, product, and business owners. We design the federated governance model, committee rhythm, documentation framework, monitoring design, and audit-ready process that makes AI accountable across functions.

This is the right next step when a startup-style policy pack is too light, but a full managed platform or private AI build is premature.

§ Fit·who this is for

For organizations where AI has become cross-functional risk.

The Enterprise AI Control Pack is for companies with multiple teams, vendors, models, frameworks, and approval paths. The problem is no longer "write a policy." The problem is deciding who owns which AI decisions and how evidence stays current.

Signal 01

AI decisions cross departments.

Risk, legal, security, procurement, data, and product all have partial ownership, but no operating model ties them together.

Signal 02

Evidence is fragmented.

Inventories, model reviews, vendor diligence, security findings, and board reporting live in different places or do not exist yet.

Signal 03

Leadership needs defensibility.

Executives need a process they can explain to customers, auditors, regulators, insurers, and the board without pretending AI is fully solved.

§ Governance model·federated control

A control model with owners, not a committee theater.

We define how AI decisions move through the business: what central governance owns, what business teams own, what security and data teams approve, and what must be escalated.

AI governance council
Committee charter, decision rights, intake rules, meeting cadence, escalation paths, and evidence review responsibilities.
Legal · Risk · Security
Business owners
Use-case accountability, accepted-risk decisions, human-review checkpoints, operating controls, and change notifications.
Product · Ops · Sales
Technical owners
Model, data, access, logging, evaluation, and monitoring requirements for AI systems moving toward production.
Data · Engineering · IT
Vendor owners
AI vendor due diligence, contract-control checklist, ongoing review triggers, and exit or contingency requirements.
Procurement · Security
§ Deliverables·what ships

The artifacts that make oversight repeatable.

The output is built so a company can operate it after the engagement: clear owners, defined ceremonies, review evidence, and practical monitoring requirements.

Model

Federated governance design

Decision rights, RACI, intake path, risk tiers, approval triggers, and escalation rules.

Committee

Committee support

Charter, agenda, evidence review rhythm, board/risk reporting inputs, and operating cadence.

Documentation

Evidence framework

AI inventory, system profile, vendor review, policy lifecycle, risk register, exception log, and change-control templates.

Monitoring

Monitoring design

What to watch, who reviews it, what triggers a re-review, and how model/vendor changes get documented.

Audit-ready

Review process

How evidence is assembled for customer security reviews, audits, supervisory exams, and board oversight.

Roadmap

Implementation plan

A prioritized plan for the first 90 to 180 days, including owners, dependencies, and decisions to defer.

§ Delivery model·advisory-led

Designed with leaders first, then made operational.

We start with the governance problem and then work down into evidence, controls, and monitoring. The engagement is scoped to the number of teams, systems, frameworks, and committees involved.

01 · Assess

Current state

Review AI inventory, policies, committees, vendor process, risk registers, and production AI workflows.

02 · Design

Operating model

Define decision rights, control ownership, committee structure, intake, review, and escalation model.

03 · Document

Evidence system

Build the framework for inventory, risk tiering, vendor review, system profiles, exceptions, and monitoring evidence.

04 · Handoff

Runbook

Deliver the operating cadence, templates, roadmap, and leadership readout so the model can keep moving.

§ Boundaries·scope discipline

Enterprise control work is not a blank check.

We make the distinction explicit so buyers understand what they are buying and what requires a separate workstream.

Prerequisites

  • Named executive sponsor and cross-functional owners.
  • Access to existing AI inventory, vendor list, policies, and committee materials where they exist.
  • Agreement on the primary pressure: board, procurement, audit, regulator, or production rollout.
  • Willingness to make decision rights explicit.

Out of scope unless separately scoped

  • Legal advice, certification, attestation, or audit guarantee.
  • Private AI hosting, production engineering, or MLOps implementation.
  • 24/7 SOC, MDR, incident response execution, or continuous managed operations.
  • Owning final business risk acceptance on the client's behalf.
§ FAQ·before you scope

Common questions.

What does the Enterprise AI Control Pack cost?

The homepage range is $75,000 to $250,000+. Final scope depends on the number of business units, AI systems, frameworks, vendors, committees, and evidence workflows involved.

How is this different from the Growth Pack?

The Growth Pack is a fixed-fee governance baseline for multi-team companies. Enterprise Control is for complex organizations that need decision rights, committee operation, evidence architecture, and monitoring design across functions.

Do you run the committee for us?

We can help design and support the committee, but the client must own final decisions and risk acceptance. If ongoing ownership is needed, that becomes Managed AI Governance or vCAIO work.

Does this include private AI implementation?

No. Private AI architecture, deployment, and managed AI operations are separate workstreams. Enterprise Control can define the governance requirements those systems must satisfy.

Do you guarantee audit or regulator acceptance?

No. We prepare a defensible operating model and evidence process, but we do not certify compliance, provide legal advice, guarantee audit results, or guarantee regulator outcomes.

What happens after the handoff?

You can run the model internally, convert into Managed AI Governance, scope vCAIO support, or proceed into implementation/private AI work once governance requirements are clear.
