Governance map

Governance is roles, data inventory, and escalation — not a slide deck nobody reads.

Who approves model updates?

Recap

#What you just did

You mapped governance roles, data inventory, and escalation for three scenarios.

Teach

#How it works

Governance basics for teams:

  1. Model owner — approves prompt/model changes
  2. Data inventory — what can enter training or RAG indexes
  3. Risk tier — high-stakes flows need human review
  4. Incident path — who gets paged when bias or leakage spikes

Use it

#When you'd use this

  • Before rolling AI to customers or employees
  • When legal/compliance asks “what models do you use?”
  • After a bad headline about AI at a competitor

Watch out

#Watch out

Governance docs nobody reads don’t count. Tie rules to actual deploy gates and review queues.
