Board

What the board
needs to see.

One window. Named risk. Spend with entitlement. Value under reconcile. Agents with owners. Horizon decisions. Wave 0 before the next seat spray.

Three lenses: Risk, Cost, and Value.

Board questions

Six lines that matter

Question Evidence the window should show
Who owns AI risk this quarter? Named executive risk owner on GRC. Evidence monthly.
What are we spending, and on what entitlement? Catalogue + cost stack. Licence reclaim dates.
What value is frozen and under reconcile? Frozen value case. Benefit ledger owners.
Which agents are in production with owners? Inventory, release, retirement. Kill criteria.
What did we adopt, test, wait, or reject? Horizon decisions. Counsel dials recorded.
Is Wave 0 holding before the next seat spray? Security → GRC → Cost & Value → Licence → Adoption.

Scorecard rules

What counts · what does not

Counts

  • Named owners for risk and value
  • Assigned versus active entitlement
  • Cohort funnel stages (Eligible → Beneficial)
  • Open high risks and exceptions
  • Agents with release and retirement records
  • Horizon decisions recorded

Does not count alone

  • Licensed headcount as success
  • Demo counts without owners
  • Invented ROI percentages
  • Unbounded Pathfinder without kill criteria
  • Roadmap announcements without judgment

Validation required. Evidence labels: Recommendation / Illustrative where stated.
