Free AI Governance 30-Day Starter Plan
A week-by-week plan for a small team to stand up AI governance: inventory, roles, policy, risk register, incident process and first evidence pack.
What it is for
Most teams stall because governance looks like a year-long programme. This plan front-loads the four artefacts that regulators, customers and auditors ask for first, using the NIST AI RMF GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE and MANAGE functions as the backbone and pointing to the free templates on this site.
