Governance
Named owners before the program gets cancelled.
We produce and deliver policies, CoE, RACI, guardrails, ethics, and kill criteria. Then we keep a live record per initiative, a weekly rollup, and a monthly gate that decides continue, adjust, or stop.

It is not a compliance certificate. It is justified by program economics: initiatives that do not move get closed in time.
Every layer is a legitimate endpoint.
You can stop at any layer with no obligation to contract the next.
Policies, CoE, RACI, guardrails, ethics, and kill criteria, produced and delivered. Roughly 12 to 20 hours, priced so one person can approve it without a committee.
Full governance build, plus a seat on the client's committee charged per event. 25 to 50 hours across a four-week calendar.
A live record per initiative, weekly rollup, and a monthly gate with continue, adjust, or stop. An initiative stalled across two gates is proposed for closure.
The client produces and maintains RACI, policies, guardrails, and ethics, and runs their own CoE, updating it systematically. Operable without Criterium present.
Reference prices in US dollars, before tax. Confirmed in the proposal.
What the work looks like, step by step.
Light
We produce the governance and hand it over, with no committee in the way.
$5–8k · 1 week- 01
We start with the decisions that have no owner today.
We start by listing the decisions taken every day with nobody holding the signature. That is the finding, not the diagnosis.
12 to 20 hours in total - 02
We produce the six artifacts and hand them over.
We produce the six artifacts with your real cases inside, not as a generic template pulled from a framework.
No committee required - 03
Priced so one person can decide it.
It is designed for one person to approve: that is why the scope and price sit below the committee threshold.
Entry · one week
- Who takes part
- Legal, risk, and whoever approves de facto today
- What we need
- Two hours of interviews and the cases already running
- What is left
- Six artifacts produced and handed over
Build + Embedded
Full build, plus a seat on your committee.
$10–20k · 4 weeks- 01
Decision charter: who decides what, and at what threshold.
Thresholds are set in money and risk, not hierarchy: who signs up to what amount, and what forces escalation to the committee.
Weeks 1 to 2 - 02
Policies and guardrails written against real cases.
Policies are written against the cases already running in the company, so on day one they already apply to something.
Week 3 - 03
And we sit on your committee, charged per event.
We sit on the committee charged per event, not as open-ended advisory. Every session leaves dated decisions.
Week 4 · 25 to 50 hours in total
- Who takes part
- The executive committee and the area owners
- What we need
- One session a week for four weeks
- What is left
- Decision charter, policies and guardrails, with the CoE installed
Retainer
Monthly gate: continue, adjust, or stop.
Committed monthly hours- 01
Every initiative has a live record, not a dead report.
The live record replaces the status report: one page per initiative, with owner, previous gate, and what unblocks it.
Updated at the close of each week - 02
The weekly rollup arrives before anyone asks.
The rollup arrives on Friday without anyone asking, and it is what the committee reads before meeting.
One email, one page - 03
The monthly gate decides: continue, adjust, or stop.
The gate forces a decision. An initiative stalled across two gates is proposed for closure, and closing is also an outcome.
Stalled for two gates in a row: proposed for closure
- Who takes part
- The full committee, once a month
- What we need
- The progress data for each initiative
- What is left
- A documented gate and dated decisions
AI Compass
And the client runs their own CoE without us.
$150/mo per module- 01
Governance stops living in loose documents.
Everything produced lives in one place with a version and an owner, instead of scattered across folders and email.
Product · activated by contract - 02
The client updates it systematically, without us.
The client updates policies and guardrails as new cases enter. It is an operation, not a frozen document.
Operable without Criterium present - 03
And your CoE runs on the board the committee looks at.
When the client CoE runs without us, the work went well. That is the success criterion of the service.
Your CoE, run by your team
- Who takes part
- The client CoE administrator
- What we need
- Someone to maintain the board each month
- What is left
- Live governance, operable without us
AI Compass
Where the client's governance lives: RACI, policies, guardrails, ethics, and the committee gate. Operable without Criterium present.
