AI Governance Briefing. Decide whether to go in, and how.
One working day with leadership: an AI risk map for your company, the local regulatory frame, and the list of what NOT to automate. To decide with your own criteria before signing anything with anyone.
What it is
The AI conversation in the boardroom usually starts backwards: first the tool, then the risk. The Briefing puts it in order: what exposes company and client data, what depends on a vendor that can change prices or terms tomorrow, which decisions should never be delegated, and what the regulation that applies to you says.
You leave with a prioritized risk map and a governance posture you can defend in front of the board and clients. If the diagnosis shows that the company's critical knowledge lives in a few people and someone else's SaaS, the Briefing is also the natural entry to the Sovereign Build.
Who it's for
- Boards and C-suites deciding whether to move on AI, and how
- Family businesses where critical knowledge lives in a few people
- Regulated companies or companies with sensitive client data
- Founders who want their own criteria before buying what they're sold

What it does NOT include

- It does not replace formal legal counsel: we work with your legal advisor, not instead of them.
- It does not build or configure anything.
Specific questions
Do I need to know AI to participate?
No. It's designed for decision-makers. The technical side is translated into risk, cost, and dependency, which is the language of the decision.
Is it a disguised pitch for the Sovereign Build?
No. If the diagnosis says you don't need a sovereign system, that's what the deliverable says. The recommendation can be to do nothing yet.
Who should be in the session?
The owner or CEO, whoever runs data and systems, and legal if the company is regulated. Eight people max so it stays a working session, not a talk.
