CAPABILITY
AI governance without theatre.
Not policy decks. Operational guardrails. Most firms sell AI governance as a binder no workflow enforces. Prior Signal builds the controls into the work — so you can adopt AI and still explain, defend, and correct how it is used.
Operational guardrails, not a binder.
AI use-case inventory
Data-flow map
Human-review points
Evidence & citation requirements
Prohibited uses
Privacy constraints (PIPEDA-aware)
Vendor-risk questions
Monitoring plan
Incident-response checklist
Board / executive briefing
Theatre fails the audit. Guardrails survive it.
The point of governance is the moment someone checks: a regulator, a board, a journalist, opposing counsel. A policy statement that the system does not enforce will not survive that moment. Controls wired into the workflow — with evidence requirements and a clear record of what the AI used — will.
It connects directly to how we build trusted agents and to an adoption readiness sprint.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Common questions.
Isn’t AI governance just a policy document?
- A policy deck that no workflow enforces is theatre. We deliver operational guardrails: a use-case inventory, data-flow maps, named human-review points, citation requirements, prohibited uses, and an incident-response checklist — controls that live in the work, not a binder on a shelf.
How does this connect to privacy and Canadian requirements?
- Governance starts from where personal information flows and what PIPEDA and your sector require. We map those constraints into the system design, not around it — so the guardrails hold under scrutiny.
Who is this for?
- Boards, executives, and operating teams that need to deploy AI and be able to explain and defend how it is used — especially in regulated, public-facing, or public-sector-adjacent environments.
Do you provide legal advice?
- No. We provide operational governance and risk analysis to inform your counsel and leadership. Legal advice remains with your lawyers.
Governance you can put in front of a board.
