What's inside the playbook
20 pages structured for action, not just reading. Each chapter has a clear purpose.
Why Governance ≠ Bureaucracy
The real cost of no rules. What governance actually does for a 10-50 person business. The bureaucracy trap and how to avoid it.
The 5 Documents You Need
AUP, Data Classification Guide, Tools Register, Decision Review Protocol, Incident Checklist — why these five and nothing else.
3-Week Timeline
Day-by-day plan. Who does what, how long it takes, who needs to be involved. Total time for a 10-person team: ~6 hours.
Copy-Paste Templates
Five ready-to-adapt templates. Replace the brackets. Get MD sign-off. You have governance. Templates in English.
After Week 3
Quarterly and annual maintenance checklists. When to bring in professional help. What changes when you scale.
EU AI Act Quick Ref
Risk classification table for SMEs. Know in 30 seconds whether your AI use case is minimal-risk or needs more attention.
Is this playbook for you?
Designed for SMEs with 5–50 employees who are already using AI tools in their daily work.
✅ Good fit if you…
- ✓ Use ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or similar tools daily
- ✓ Have no formal AI policy yet (that's fine — this is the start)
- ✓ Have 5–50 employees and no dedicated compliance team
- ✓ Want something you can implement yourself, this week
- ✓ Need to answer "do you have an AI policy?" from a client
⚠️ You need more than this if you…
- → Deploy high-risk AI (medical, biometric, hiring at scale)
- → Have 100+ employees (governance complexity is higher)
- → Are building AI into a product you sell to others
- → Have already had a data breach involving AI
In these cases: book a call — we can point you in the right direction.
