How does this fit alongside the AI Readiness Sprint?
The Quick Start is a focused subset of the full Sprint, sized for VP and Director-level discretionary spend. If your immediate need is a defensible governance foundation and you want to defer the broader Shadow AI inventory, ROI roadmap, and regulatory checklist work to a later phase, this is the right scope. If you need the full picture in one engagement, the $7,500 Sprint covers all six deliverables.
Will the AUP actually get adopted, or just sit in a folder?
The AUP is built around behavioral nudges, easy-to-use approved-tool pathways, and an honoring frame for the work your people are already trying to do. Cyberpsychology research on workforce compliance shows that policies which acknowledge real workflow pressures and offer practical approved alternatives produce dramatically higher adherence than policies that lead with prohibitions alone. The manager-facing rollout guide is part of the deliverable for the same reason.
Do you customize for our specific regulatory environment?
Yes. The Charter, AUP, and Vendor Risk Framework are calibrated to the regulatory environment that applies to you, whether that is NAIC plus state DOI for insurance, HHS plus HIPAA plus JCAHO for healthcare, or a mix. The work is not a generic template handoff.
Who owns these documents after the engagement ends?
You do. The deliverables are yours to keep, edit, and operationalize. There is no licensing arrangement, no recurring fee for use, and no expiry.
What if we already have a Governance Charter or AUP draft?
I review what exists first, then strengthen what is working and rewrite what needs more depth. Most existing drafts I see have either too little operating substance to satisfy a regulator or too little behavioral grounding to shift workforce behavior. The Quick Start strengthens both at once and builds on the work you have already done rather than starting from scratch.
