The Board Asked A Question No One Could Answer
The question came from the audit committee: which of your processes are now AI-assisted? And what happens when they're wrong? No one in the room had a complete answer.
No one in the room had a complete answer.
Not because no one was using AI. The opposite. It had spread quietly — into reporting, into drafting, into decisions that used to take a week and now take an afternoon.
The board didn't panic. But they noted it.
You left that meeting knowing two things. That the question would come again. And that next time, 'we're looking into it' wouldn't be sufficient.
The gap between what you're doing and what you can account for is exactly where liability lives.
This work makes that gap visible before someone else does.
We typically begin by mapping what's actually in use — which processes have quietly become AI-assisted, where human oversight has thinned, and where the accountability gaps are. Consulting and systems mapping make the invisible visible before someone external does. From there, facilitation brings the right people into the same conversation — often for the first time — to agree what governance needs to look like going forward.
The gap closes. The next time the audit committee asks, there's an answer. And it's honest.
