Discover to maintainFractional AI Governance Lead: a named owner for AI in your company
Some companies need an accountable owner rather than a supplier of governance work - a name that can be given to a customer, a board or a regulator, held by someone who is actually in the meetings. Up to sixteen hours a month, with the decisions, the committee and the management report that come with the role.
- Published range
- $3,000–5,000 / month
- Timing after intake
- Monthly cycle
- Quoted in India
- ₹1,50,000–2,50,000 / month
Fixed scope, not hourly. Quoted before we start, with the exclusions written down. The India figure is a separate price for a separate market, not a conversion.
How this is actually delivered
Covers the whole model on a continuing basis: new uses, vendors, incidents and changes are picked up each month and the evidence stays current between them.
The scope is fixed before the work starts, which is why the price is a published range rather than an hourly estimate. Anything outside it is quoted separately rather than absorbed quietly or billed by surprise.
- Why companies buy this
- Some companies need an accountable owner of AI governance rather than a supplier of governance work - a name a customer, a board or a regulator can be given, held by someone who is actually in the meetings.
- What we actually do
- Up to sixteen hours a month as the named governance lead: facilitating the internal committee, chairing decisions on new uses and exceptions, running capped launch reviews, maintaining the control and evidence estate, and producing a management report that says what changed, what is unresolved and what needs a decision.
- Where it stops, and who takes over
- The role is operational accountability, not an in-house counsel seat. Legal advice, formal opinions and regulatory filings go to qualified lawyers; we coordinate them and record who advised on what.
- What you can show afterwards
- Committee minutes and decision records, a maintained control estate, launch review sign-offs, and a management report with a clear trail from each decision to the evidence behind it.
What you receive
Up to sixteen hours a month: the named owner of AI governance in your company, with committee facilitation, launch reviews and a report to management.
Up to sixteen hours a month. This is a governance role, not an in-house counsel seat: legal advice, formal opinions and regulatory filings go to qualified lawyers, and we coordinate rather than replace them. Tiers are alternatives and hours do not stack.

- Facilitation of the internal AI governance committee

What it costs, and what it replaces
Both figures are published ranges for the same unit of work. Ours is fixed before we start; if our process gets faster, that is our gain and your price does not move.
How engagements are structured →Published range for this engagement, against the span of the whole card. In India the same scope is quoted at ₹1,50,000–2,50,000 — a separate price for a separate market, not a conversion. Where in the range a quote lands is set by scope, entities and how much usable evidence already exists.

How the work runs
01
Establish the role
What the lead decides, what the lead recommends and what stays with management, written down - an accountable owner with no decision rights is a title rather than a role.
02
Run the committee
A regular forum where new uses, exceptions and incidents are decided and recorded, with the reasoning and conditions kept rather than remembered.
03
Review launches
Capped reviews of new AI features against the agreed release controls, with a decision record for each.
04
Maintain the estate
Registers, controls, evidence and review dates stay current, with overdue high-impact actions escalated to the sponsor.
05
Report
A monthly report to management, written for people who have to make decisions rather than for a filing cabinet.
What we need from you
- A standing committee or the authority to convene one
- A seat at the decisions that matter: releases, vendor selection, incidents
- An executive sponsor who will act on escalations
What we check before delivery
- Decisions carry reasoning, conditions and an expiry, so an approval does not become permanent by default
- Legal questions are assigned to qualified counsel and the record shows who advised on what
- The role is operational accountability, and the engagement letter says so plainly
When firms send us this
- Multiple teams are shipping AI and no single person owns the risk
- A customer or board asked who is accountable for AI, by name
- You need the function before you can justify hiring it permanently
Questions about fractional ai governance lead
Can you be named to our customers?
Yes, as the fractional governance lead, with the scope of the role described accurately. We will not be presented as your general counsel or as a certifying authority.
What happens when we hire someone permanent?
The role hands over, which is a normal and good outcome. The registers, decisions and evidence are exportable and yours, and we would rather plan that handover than make you dependent on us.
