You run engagements for clients and the apps are your method, record and output in one place. An engagement is a set of sessions with the client's people in named roles; the app says at each step who proposes, who records and who reviews, refuses anything outside a role, and generates the outputs (statement, policy outline, board minute, action list, register, findings) as Word documents marked draft until the right person signs them off.
What you will do
- Scope the engagement in the Obligations Atlas. Choose the client's jurisdiction, sector and entity type; the Atlas builds a matter brief that lists the obligations in scope, the questions for counsel and the apps that fit. The brief is a file you keep; it is never sent to a server, and you can hold one per client in the browser portfolio.
- Choose the route. Regulated entities (APRA- or MAS-regulated) run AI Board Direction in connected mode, then AI Risk Appetite, then AI Use Assessment; the brief says so. Everyone else runs AI Board Direction standalone, and a Confidentiality Exposure Assessment when a matter calls for it.
- Get a deployment. Triodian administers client deployments for now: one per client, each app under the client's name, one sign-in across them. If you run your own Cloudflare account, the Operator path applies too.
- Form the team. Each app's set-up names the people and their roles. Separation of duties is enforced: a peer reviewer cannot be the assessor, a second approver is needed where the GC also acts as counsel, and the independent reviewer in a Use Assessment holds no other role.
- Run the sessions. Import the matter brief into the app's set-up, then walk the steps. The engagement plan output lists the sessions, the attendees by role, the client inputs needed and the sign-off points, so you can send it before the first session.
- Deliver the outputs and keep the record. Every output carries its status, the version it came from and its evidence line (APRA letter bullet, CPS 230 paragraph, ISO/IEC 42001 clause). The practice hub shows every client deployment with its stage, open actions and next sign-off date, and nothing else, so it is safe to leave open.
Read in this order
- Get started in 10 minutes: the worked examples, especially Coastline Super for the regulated chain and Harrow Valley Foods for standalone.
- Guides: running an engagement: one guide per kind of engagement.
- Concepts: roles and separation of duties, modes, sector packs and baselines, the regulated chain, evidence. Read these before the first client session; they are what the client's GC will ask about.
- Guides: client data: importing a provider register, loading an ISO/IEC 42001 limits register, Lite scope, the evidence index.
- The link notes for the regulated chain, held in the app repositories: the board link, the calibration link and the in-use feed.
- Frameworks: the method in full, once published after counsel's review.
Things practitioners ask first
- Can I brand the outputs? Yes. Each app's set-up takes your firm's name, a line under it and a PNG logo; they appear in the header, the Word and PDF page header and the document creator field.
- What does the client's board see? In connected mode, the board view in AI Board Direction shows the positions the board approved, where the appetite stands now and the latest in-use measures, for each board meeting.
- Who holds counsel's determinations? Counsel. Technical classifications and evidence positions are shared with the technology owner and the AI governance team in scheduled updates; counsel's legal determinations stay with counsel unless counsel chooses to include them. The note what they supply and what they read sets this out for counsel assessing the design.
- What does it cost? The apps are free and Apache 2.0. Facilitation, Triodian-administered deployments and support are what Triodian charges for: Licensing and support.
