Discover to maintainGovernance Operations: monthly governance for a company that keeps changing
For a company adding tools, vendors and features every month, governance work arrives every month too. Up to eight hours covers the maintenance, two reviews, and capped support on the customer diligence that would otherwise land on your sales team unaided.
- Published range
- $1,500–2,500 / month
- Timing after intake
- Monthly cycle
- Quoted in India
- ₹75,000–1,25,000 / 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
- A company adding tools, vendors and features every month generates governance work every month. At that rate the choice is between maintaining the programme and quietly abandoning it.
- What we actually do
- Up to eight hours a month, covering everything in Governance Care plus two new-use or vendor reviews, a maintained change log, and capped support on incoming customer diligence so sales is not answering AI questions unaided. Response targets are set in business hours and the complexity ceiling for a review is agreed in advance.
- Where it stops, and who takes over
- The same boundary applies: we operate the process, qualified counsel answers the law, and specialists handle technical assurance. Work beyond the monthly cap is agreed in writing before it starts, never absorbed silently or billed by surprise.
- What you can show afterwards
- Current registers, completed review records, answered diligence with its sources, and a monthly report naming decisions required from management.
What you receive
Up to eight hours a month: two new-use or vendor reviews, a change log, and capped support on incoming customer diligence.
Up to eight hours a month, no rollover, agreed response targets in business hours. We do not imply round-the-clock coverage across time zones. These tiers are alternatives; the hours do not stack with another plan.
- Everything in Governance Care
- Up to two new-use or vendor reviews each month
- A maintained change log across tools, vendors and features
- Capped support on incoming customer AI diligence requests
- Business-hours response targets, agreed in writing
- A monthly report naming the decisions required from management
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 ₹75,000–1,25,000 — 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.
Midpoint $2,000 per month
How the work runs
01
Intake
New uses, vendors, releases and incidents come in through an agreed route rather than being discovered at month end.
02
Review
Up to two reviews a month against a complexity ceiling agreed in advance, so the cap means something on both sides.
03
Diligence support
Incoming customer AI questions are answered from the existing answer bank and evidence, with anything new routed to the owner who can confirm it.
04
Maintain
Registers, change log and evidence stay current, with overdue actions escalated rather than accumulated.
05
Report
A monthly written report: changes, decisions, unresolved risks, and what management needs to decide.
What we need from you
- An internal owner, and a route for teams to raise new uses as they arise
- Early notice of releases and vendor changes rather than notice afterwards
- Access to the diligence requests as they arrive, not once they are overdue
What we check before delivery
- Review complexity ceilings are agreed in advance so the cap is honest
- Diligence answers follow the same rule as a full pack: nothing the evidence does not support
- Overage is agreed in writing before the work, never billed by surprise
When firms send us this
- New AI tools and features arrive monthly rather than annually
- Customer diligence requests are now a recurring event
- Sales needs somewhere to send AI questions other than the founder
Questions about governance operations
What counts against the hours?
Reviews, diligence support, register maintenance, the monthly call and the report. We track it and show you, so a conversation about resizing the plan can be had from records rather than impressions.
Can you handle an incident?
Triage and routing, yes. Full incident response is a separate arrangement with its own terms, because pretending otherwise would be the wrong thing to discover during one.
