Case Bank • Illustrative • Board-safe

Case Bank 1 — Trust Brief & Ledger Pilot (Illustrative).

A board-safe pattern showing how a regulated institution can convert scattered AI artefacts into a short Trust Brief and a thin Trust Ledger slice that supports committees, supervisors, and procurement. No client endorsement. No confidential data.

Board framing

What the pilot solves, in plain language.

The problem

AI programs produce artefacts (policies, validations, dashboards, minutes, vendor docs), but boards and supervisors require a single defensible view of where AI is material and how it is governed.

  • Fragmentation: evidence exists, but is not packaged for oversight or procurement.
  • Ambiguity: unclear boundaries, owners, and exceptions create oversharing risk.
  • Decision delay: committees cannot approve because “what is true” is not provable.
Outcome (what gets produced)

Board-ready objects — thin, defensible, refreshable.

Artefact Purpose
Trust Brief (typ. 12–16 pages) Decision-grade view of material AI paths, safeguards, gaps, and options.
Trust Ledger slice (thin by design) Structured entries for highest-signal decision paths; refreshable cadence object.
MAP (Management Action Plan) 3–8 governance moves with owners, due dates, and evidence expectations.
Evidence Snapshot What exists, what is missing, and what is “current” (freshness notes).
Roadmap 30/60/90 Concrete next steps post-pilot, sequenced for committees and teams.
Typical inputs (non-invasive)

Reuse existing artefacts; minimal disruption.

  • 6–10 stakeholder interviews (risk, security, privacy, business owners, IT/M365 owners).
  • 10–25 existing artefacts reviewed (policies, controls, exports, minutes, vendor docs).
  • 2–4 short workshops (materiality, boundary mapping, governance packaging).
Principle: build on what already exists. Net-new documentation is minimized.
When this pattern fits

High signal conditions that justify a 6-week pilot.

  • Multiple AI initiatives exist without a single board-ready view of materiality.
  • Audit/supervisory scrutiny is expected within the next 12–18 months.
  • Preference for time-boxed outputs and a clear “what next” path.
