Methodology
Tools & Frameworks
Practical frameworks built from 15+ years of frontline AI advisory work. Free to use. Built for the executives, strategists, and operators doing the hard work.
Signature Frameworks
Proprietary, named methodology — built from the field, not borrowed from consulting decks.
Governance
4 Functions · 3 Questions · 90-Day Sprint · AAA Maturity Path
Minimum Viable AI Governance (MVG)
The governance framework that doesn't kill innovation. Build the minimum viable structure in 90 days — NIST-compatible from day one, with the AAA path (Assess, Align, Assure) to full maturity. Featured in keynotes at Stanford SEED, Stanford LISA, and enterprise advisory engagements.
Trust & ROI
3 Pillars · 15 Dimensions · Trust Premium Score · Industry Benchmarks
The Trust Premium
The framework for quantifying the business value of trusted AI. Three pillars — Risk Avoidance, Performance Acceleration, and Market Premium — measured across 15 dimensions. Used in advisory engagements across financial services, healthcare, and government.
Development Pipeline
Purposeful Impact · Respect for Humans · Interpretable by Design · Mitigated by Engineering · Enforceable Accountability
The PRIME Framework
Wire responsible AI into your development pipeline — not onto it. PRIME treats trust as a build constraint, the same way security tests block deployments. The result: AI that ships faster because it never needs costly retrofits.
Risk & Audit
5 Debt Categories · 25 Dimensions · Compound Interest Model · 90-Day Sprint
The Liability Ledger
The structured methodology for inventorying, scoring, and reducing the hidden liability accumulating in your AI portfolio. Five categories of ethical debt — Bias, Transparency, Governance, Privacy, Accountability — each compounding at measurable rates. Used in advisory engagements to make invisible risk visible.
Agentic AI
7 Dimensions · 5 Autonomy Levels · Readiness Score · Agent Washing Detector
Agentic AI Readiness (A7)
Seven dimensions that determine whether your organization is ready for autonomous AI agents — and which autonomy level you can safely deploy. From data architecture to human oversight, A7 prevents premature autonomy deployment. The framework that completes the system.
Methodology Tools
Practical instruments for assessment, evaluation, and compliance — designed to complement the signature frameworks.
Decision Framework
4 Pillars · 12 Blocks
The AI Use Case Canvas
A 360-degree decision framework for evaluating any AI initiative before committing resources. Stops promising demos from becoming costly failures.
Assessment
5 Pillars · Scored Diagnostic · Calibration Checks
The 5-Pillar AI Readiness Assessment
A scored diagnostic that separates genuine organizational readiness from wishful thinking. Includes calibration checks to prevent self-assessment bias — the gap most frameworks ignore.
Operations
From Principles to Practice
The Governance Playbook
The operational playbook for turning AI principles into decisions. Closes the gap between beautiful principles documents and actual governance.
Compliance
3-Tier Policy · 4 Jurisdictions · 3 Sector Addenda
Open Source AI Compliance Checklist
A structured compliance checklist for managing open source AI adoption — covering licence inventory, three-tier policy classification, SBOM requirements, multi-jurisdiction regulatory monitoring, and sector-specific addenda for healthcare, financial services, and government.
Procurement
6 Categories · 30 Questions · Red Flag Checklist · Vendor Comparison
AI Vendor Assessment Scorecard
Evaluate AI vendors on governance, transparency, bias testing, privacy, compliance, and portability — before signing. 30 questions across 6 categories with immediate red flags and a 3-vendor comparison matrix.
Compliance
Article-by-Article Checklist · Risk Classification · Penalty Calculator
EU AI Act Compliance Template
The article-by-article compliance checklist for the EU AI Act. Covers prohibited practices (enforced Feb 2025), GPAI obligations (Aug 2025), and high-risk requirements (Dec 2027, Digital Omnibus deferral). Includes risk classification register, penalty exposure calculator, and NIST crosswalk. Saves governance teams 40-60 hours.
Advisory Work
These frameworks in practice
The frameworks here are the same ones used in advisory engagements with C-suite leaders across four continents. If you want to apply them with support, that's the advisory work.
