Why do we need this if we already have ChatGPT Enterprise / Claude for Work?

Enterprise contracts give you data isolation. They don't give you an AUP, a registry, an AI Council, or spend controls. Those are policy, process, and structure — and that's what determines whether the rollout actually scales safely.

Will this slow down adoption?

The opposite. Most rollouts stall because legal, HR, or security can't sign off without policy in place. Governance OS removes that bottleneck — your operators move faster because the guardrails are clear.

Can our internal legal team write the AUP?

Yes — and most engagements involve them. We bring the AI-specific framework; your legal team owns the final document. The deliverable is one your legal team will defend, not a template they'll have to rewrite.

How does the agent registry work?

It's a shared, searchable catalog of approved agents and Claude skills across your org — with metadata (owner, function, scope, last reviewed) so duplicate work stops and shared use cases compound. We'll set up the registry, the review process, and the discovery UX.

How is pricing structured?

Initial 30-day engagement is fixed-fee. The quarterly governance retainer continues from there. Both are scoped on the discovery call. Book a 30-min call to discuss.

For CTOs, CISOs, and Counsel staring at shadow AI

Your team is using AI whether you authorized it or not.

Build the guardrails before the incident — not after. Governance that enables the rollout, not stops it.

The situation

Sound familiar?

Security flagged shadow AI tool usage you can't fully account for.
You're scaling Claude/ChatGPT and need an AUP before more rollout.
Legal, HR, or compliance is asking questions you don't have crisp answers to.
You're a regulated industry (fintech, healthcare, services) and the audit is coming.

What you walk away with

AUP signed, agent registry live, spend controls in place, AI Council chartered — in 30 days. Plus a quarterly governance retainer so your guardrails evolve as fast as your team's usage.

What’s in the OS

Every component built around the same outcome. No bolt-ons.

Week 1

Current-State Audit

What AI tools are actually in use across your org. Authorized, unauthorized, in-between. Mapped, ranked, and prioritized by risk.

Weeks 1–2

AUP Draft + Legal Review Framework

A defensible Acceptable Use Policy your legal team will sign off on. Plus the review framework to keep it current.

Week 2

Agent Registry Setup

A shared registry of approved agents and skills, with discovery, tagging, and version control. The "package manager" your AI ecosystem doesn't have yet.

Week 3

Spend Control Configuration

Per-team, per-tool spending limits. Real-time alerting. The end of $15K-of-the-month surprise invoices.

Week 4

AI Council Charter

Cross-functional governance body — who's on it, what they decide, how often they meet, what powers they have. The "constitution" for your AI rollout.

Ongoing

Quarterly Governance Retainer

Governance evolves monthly as new tools emerge and new agents ship. Quarterly review keeps your guardrails ahead of the rollout.

We can't put a prohibition on alcohol — people are gonna use AI no matter what we tell them. So the question is whether we govern it or pretend we are.

Fit check

We’d rather tell you no upfront than waste a quarter together.

Right for you if

You've scaled past 50 employees with active AI usage and no formal governance
CTO, CISO, GC, or COO sponsorship — you have the authority to issue policy
You want governance that enables, not blocks (the alcohol-prohibition test)
You're ready to charter a cross-functional AI Council, not push it to one team

Probably not if

You're sub-30 employees — formal governance is overhead you don't need yet
You want governance to lock everything down — that breeds shadow AI, not safety
You don't have any AI tools in active use yet — start with AI Strategy OS instead
