HOW IT WORKS

How risk moves to a decision

A useful AI risk process considers intended use, affected people, data, model behaviour, security and operational dependencies — not only model accuracy.

STAGE01
CONTROL FOCUS

Identify

Map the system and affected parties

EVIDENCE TO CAPTURE

Use-case context, data flows, affected groups and threats

Select any stage to see its control focus and expected evidence.

QUESTIONS TO ANSWER

Make it operational.

Use these questions to turn governance principles into decisions that your organisation can evidence.

  • What could go wrong for users, customers or third parties?
  • Which risks remain after controls, and who can accept them?
  • What change or incident triggers a fresh assessment?
