Governance
Who signs for the algorithm?
Boards don’t fear AI; they fear unowned risk. A working oversight charter names the owner, the review cadence, and the kill switch — before the first pilot ships.
Working notes
Short, practical notes from live engagements — governance, measurement, and running AI in production. No hype.
Measurement
An ROI number that survives procurement
Adoption curves and anecdotes don’t clear an evaluator. Instrument usage, cost, and outcomes from day one, and the number defends itself.
Agentic AI
Agents need runbooks, not demos
An agent in production is an operations problem. SLOs, rollbacks, and audit trails are what make autonomy safe to keep.
Privacy
FERPA is not a blocker. It’s a spec.
Compliance constraints read like requirements when you’ve lived inside them. Systems designed to the spec clear review faster than clever workarounds.
