AI Governance, Operations, Risk & Compliance
The minimum viable AI system inventory
Governance becomes difficult when an organization cannot answer a basic question: where are we using AI?
Inventory the use, not only the vendor
The same platform can support low-risk drafting and high-impact operational decisions. Record the business use case separately from the technology supplier.
Capture ownership
Every entry should identify a business owner and, where appropriate, technical or risk owners.
Record access and action
Note important data classes, external systems, tools, permissions and whether the system recommends or executes actions.
Keep it alive
A small accurate inventory is more useful than an exhaustive spreadsheet that becomes stale immediately.
Continue the system
Keep exploring
Put it to work
Turn the idea into an operating move.
Continue with a practical resource, a structured system, or an advisory conversation when context matters.
