Decision Rights Charter Sprint
Decide who decides before the regulator asks.
Most teams deploying AI never explicitly decide which calls the model gets to make. The Charter Sprint is a fixed two-week engagement that publishes decision rights, the Judgment Line, and a board-ready readout.
What you walk away with
- Decision Rights Charter, Every decision classified Delegate · Augment · Reserve
- The Judgment Line, One-page boundary doc: where the human veto sits, what triggers escalation
- Executive readout, The board-and-regulator-ready answer to "who decided, and why"
How the two weeks work
01
Map
Identify AI-touched decisions, current owners, failure modes, and escalation gaps.
02
Decide
Convene the decision owners to classify authority, triggers, vetoes, and exceptions.
03
Publish
Deliver the charter, Judgment Line, and executive readout as usable operating artifacts.
Best fit when
- AI already influences consequential decisions across a leadership team.
- Decision ownership, escalation, or human-veto authority is unclear.
- An executive sponsor can convene the people who own the relevant decisions.
- The organization needs a written, defensible operating boundary—not another principles deck.
Not the right fit when
- You need legal advice, regulatory certification, or a generic AI policy template.
- There is no executive sponsor or access to the people who make the decisions.
- The issue is a single personal decision that a self-service tool can resolve.
