01The institutional problem
Your AI mandate depends on decisions across the institution.

AI increasingly arrives inside systems the institution already uses. Technology, data, security, procurement, legal and the operating functions each hold part of the answer, and leadership needs a clear view of how those decisions fit together. When the institutional position has to be rebuilt for each new use or material change, the work repeats.

 
What governs it?Which laws, regulations and internal rules apply, and where is legal interpretation required?
 
Where is it in use?Which systems are in use, which functions operate them, what data they touch and what decisions they influence?
 
Who decides?Which decisions sit with the function, which need another authority and which belong with leadership?

When those decisions do not keep pace with AI use, each new use has to reopen questions the institution has not settled.

02The Threshold Assessment
The Assessment starts with the position the institution believes it holds.

The Assessment is the evidence instrument inside the Threshold engagement.

Declared baseline
Governed

The governance position the institution states at the outset.

Evidence-supported position
Developing

The position supported by the evidence produced: lower, equal to, or higher than the declared baseline.

Where the declared baseline and the evidence-supported position differ, the difference is itself a finding.
01Governance and accountability
02Data readiness and privacy
03Strategy and use case management
04Workforce readiness
05Vendor and procurement
06Incident response and risk

The Assessment is not certification, assurance, legal advice or a compliance determination.

Each dimension carries its own position. They are not combined into a single institutional score, and a strong position in one dimension does not offset a regulatory finding elsewhere.

03What leadership receives
Evidence establishes the current position.
Leadership establishes the owned position.

Threshold takes the findings to leadership, where the policy, accountability and escalation decisions are made and recorded.

AI Use Policy

The institution’s documented position on approved use, prohibited use and escalation.

Accountability Map

Named accountable decision owners against named AI-influenced decisions, with system ownership, operating responsibility and oversight kept distinct.

Governance Brief

A concise leadership record suitable for a minister, board, regulator or audit committee.

ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY · NOT A CLIENT RESULT

Committee oversight does not remove the need for identifiable accountability. Decision accountability is recorded separately from system ownership.

The institution receives the record behind the assessment conclusion: the findings, the evidence record and the regulatory analysis.

The first conversation is to understand your AI mandate, the institutional position you need to establish and the functions that need to be represented.
