Journey · Your governance program

From first inventory to audit-ready.
Here is the path.

A clear, sequenced program that builds governance from the ground up — or closes the gaps in what you already have.

Engagement timeline
Day 0

Discovery call

30 minutes. We scope the engagement, identify which services apply, and provide a transparent estimate. Most clients have everything they need to decide after this call. Outcome: recommended path, indicative scope and timeline, engagement letter if proceeding.

Wk 01–04

S1 · AI Risk Assessment

Full AI system inventory, risk register, NIST AI RMF mapping, board-ready executive summary. The governance foundation every subsequent program builds on — structured interviews, documentation review, risk scoring, deliverable preparation.

Wk 03–10

S2 · Governance Framework Setup

AI governance policy suite, RACI matrix, lifecycle controls, monitoring cadence. Aligned to NIST AI RMF and/or ISO/IEC 42001. Built for your sector, your team, your workflows. Can run concurrently with S1 final delivery.

S4 · AI Governance Retainer

Run your governance program independently as AI and regulation evolve. Quarterly reviews, policy updates, new AI system intake (up to 4 per quarter), and an annual KneuraLens™ reassessment with a board-ready quarterly report.

01

Kickoff

On SOW execution and receipt of first payment. No delays, no onboarding overhead.

02

Payment

50/50 split — first instalment on signing, second on final deliverable. No surprise invoices.

03

Revisions

One revision round per deliverable, included. Scope changes are priced separately, in advance.

Governance that holds starts with a conversation.

Every engagement begins with 30 minutes of honest assessment. We scope your situation, tell you what we see, and let you decide what comes next.
