Design governance into your AI project — before you build.

If your digital-transformation team is scoping an AI project, you are deciding capabilities, autonomy and data flows now — while governance is usually an afterthought bolted on later, at the cost of rework. KYE Protocol™ flips that: the KYE Governance Design Brief™ turns your project scope into a concrete governance design — controls, evidence, autonomy tier and the frameworks that apply — as an evidence-sealed report. Design it in up front, and the fee credits 100% into your pilot.

The gap: transformation teams scope, governance arrives late

Digital-transformation teams own the logistics and mechanics of AI projects — scope, capabilities, vendors, autonomy. But governance typically shows up after the build, when changing the design is expensive. That ordering is backwards, and it is where most AI-project risk is quietly created.

Bolted on late

When governance arrives after the architecture is set, controls get retrofitted, evidence is reconstructed, and the audit later finds gaps that were designed in months earlier.

Designed in early

A governance design produced at scoping time tells you which actions need authority decisions, what to log, and which frameworks apply — so the build is governable by construction.

What the KYE Governance Design Brief™ delivers

The Brief is a concrete, sealed artefact your steering committee, CISO and auditor can act on — not a slide deck. Every section is grounded in KYE Protocol™'s framework mapping, so it is defensible from day one.

Framework applicability map

Which of 170 frameworks apply to your use case — EU AI Act™, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001™, DORA — with the specific clauses your project must answer.

Autonomy & risk tier

A recommended autonomy tier for the agents in scope, and the controls each tier requires — so “how autonomous” is a governed decision, not a guess.

Control + evidence plan

Which actions need Purpose Permission™, what each one must capture, and the kill-switch and approval plan — the blueprint your build follows.

Sealed, replay-verifiable

The Brief ships as an evidence-sealed report you can re-verify from a published key — KYE Protocol™ proving its own governance, not just describing it.

How it works

From a scoping conversation to a defensible governance design, in four steps — with a free first look so you can start before any budget is committed.

1. ScopeDescribe the planned project: use case, data sensitivity, autonomy, agent frameworks and target regulations.
2. Free snapshotGet an instant on-screen readiness summary and the frameworks that apply — no commitment.
3. BriefThe full KYE Governance Design Brief™ — tiered, mapped, control-by-control — sealed and signed.
4. PilotThe Brief fee credits 100% into a governed pilot that builds exactly what it specified.

Free snapshot, paid Brief, then a pilot

Start free to get into the design conversation; pay for the defensible artefact; carry the fee into the build. The whole ladder is designed so governance never blocks momentum — it shapes it.

Free scoping snapshot

  • Instant readiness summary for your planned project.
  • The subset of 170 frameworks that apply.
  • A first view of the autonomy tier and likely controls.

The Brief is produced through KYE Protocol™'s governed reporting rail — the same evidence-sealing that backs every governed decision — so the deliverable is verifiable, not asserted. Pricing is shared on request under closed registration; request a Brief to scope your project.

Common questions

What digital-transformation leads ask before commissioning a Brief.

What is governance by design? Designing governance into an AI project at scoping time — controls, evidence and frameworks decided before the build — rather than retrofitting it after. KYE Protocol™ delivers it as the Governance Design Brief™.
Who is the Brief for? Digital-transformation teams, AI program owners and the CISO/DPO who will have to defend the project — anyone deciding scope, capabilities and autonomy before a build starts.
How is it different from a readiness assessment? A readiness assessment scores an existing agent stack; the Brief designs governance into a project you have not built yet. Different point in the lifecycle.
Does the fee carry into the build? Yes — the Brief fee credits 100% into a subsequent governed pilot within 60 days, so designing governance in early costs nothing extra if you proceed.
