Fractional AI Governance
Ongoing AI Governance, Carried Alongside You
Priority Governance prepares, coordinates and reports on the recurring governance work each month — the reviews, the records and the follow-through — while your leadership keeps every decision that matters.

Priority Governance prepares, records and follows up. Your leadership makes every decision.
Where It Fits
For Firms That Want Governance Owned, Not Just Documented
The recommended way to begin is the 90-Day Governance Launch. After that, governance has to be kept current. If you have an internal owner who can operate it, Control Center is the system they use. Fractional AI Governance is for firms that would rather Priority Governance carry the recurring work with them.
Control Center is included while Fractional AI Governance is active — there is no separate Control Center subscription on top of it.
Each Month
The Recurring Work You Stop Having to Chase
Once a month, leadership reads one short status brief: what changed, what closed, what is still open, and what needs a decision from them.
AI Inventory
A current record of the tools and uses that matter enough to govern, so “which AI tools are we using?” has an answer.
New Tool and Use-Case Review
Requests are reviewed the same way every time and prepared as a practical recommendation for the person who decides.
Decisions and Exceptions
What leadership decided, why, and on what conditions — recorded where the next person can find it, with exceptions on the record.
Risks and Actions
Open items carry an owner and a status, so nothing important sits in an inbox with nobody responsible for it.
Vendor Changes
When a vendor adds AI features to software you already use, we help review what changed and frame the questions to ask.
Specialist Hand-Offs
When something needs a lawyer, a security professional or HR, we flag it, bring in the right person and track it to completion.
The First 90 Days
A Focused Pilot, Then a Decision
Engagements generally begin with a focused 90-day pilot built around the AI activity you already know about. The record grows through the monthly process rather than trying to catch everything at once.
- Days 1–30
Establish
We set up the initial inventory, the risk and action register, the decision log and the intake process for new tools and uses.
Your side: You name an Internal Governance Liaison and connect us with the right people.
- Days 31–60
Operate
We review new activity within the agreed intake, keep the records current, track actions and issue Status Brief #1.
Your side: Leadership joins the check-in and makes the required decisions.
- Days 61–90
Recommend
We continue the cycle, issue Status Brief #2 and recommend the appropriate ongoing model.
Your side: Leadership decides whether to continue, adjust scope, move defined work in-house, or stop.
Scope and Boundaries
A Defined Function, Not Unlimited Consulting
The engagement has an agreed amount of governance work each month. Materially higher activity, a major new initiative, or work that needs substantial standalone analysis moves to a later cycle or is scoped separately — by agreement, never by drift.
Your Leadership and Your Specialists
Your leadership decides, approves and stays accountable. Legal, privacy, security, HR and IT specialists remain responsible for work in their disciplines; we coordinate the hand-off and record the outcome.
What This Is Not
- Legal advice or legal representation
- Cybersecurity implementation, security testing, or a security assessment
- Privacy counsel or regulatory interpretation
- HR implementation, investigations, or employment decisions
- AI engineering or technical evaluation of AI systems
- Regulatory certification, a compliance determination, or a formal audit
- Incident response or forensics
Questions
Questions Leaders Ask
Do we need a policy or a complete inventory first?
No. We start from the AI activity you already know about and any drafts you have, and grow the record through the monthly process.
How is pricing determined?
By the scope and operational complexity of the engagement — the volume of AI activity, how much governance work comes in each month, and the reporting required — not by headcount. Monthly pricing is not published; you receive a specific price for the defined scope in writing before anything begins.
What happens at day 90?
We look at your actual activity and workload and recommend the appropriate ongoing model. Your leadership decides. What happens after the pilot — and any renewal or notice terms — is set out in your signed agreement before the engagement begins.
See Whether Fractional AI Governance Fits
Twenty minutes on how AI is used in your firm today, who owns the decisions, and where leadership needs support. If another path fits better, we will say so. No purchase or commitment is required from the call.
Priority Governance coordinates the governance process; it is not legal advice, a security assessment, or a compliance certification. Your leadership retains decision authority. Data Handling
