ARI™
Continuous Governance
A subscription-based monitoring and alerting layer that treats governance as coverage, not control, so leadership always knows what’s drifting, what’s binding, and what must be escalated.
What it is
ARI™ Continuous Governance is the always-on layer that sits above policies, tools, and teams. Instead of assuming governance “holds” because documents exist, it continuously checks whether governance is actually happening in day-to-day decisions: where meaning becomes binding, where exceptions quietly become precedent, where data paths change, and where agents or workflows move faster than review.
Who It's For
-
CEO/President: Wants confidence that AI acceleration is not creating hidden liabilities.
-
COO: Needs operational clarity—what’s stable, what’s drifting, what’s breaking.
-
CISO: Wants early warning on tool sprawl, data paths, shadow usage, and audit gaps.
-
General Counsel / Compliance: Needs traceable acceptance of meaning, terms, and escalation points—not retroactive storytelling.
The Problems It Solves
Most governance programs fail quietly:
-
Policies exist, but they don’t execute.
-
Controls exist, but meaning drifts.
-
Oversight exists, but the system never signals when it crosses a line.
As AI removes friction, informal human “governance work” disappears. ARI™ Continuous Governance restores that missing layer by turning governance into measurable, monitored coverage.
What Makes It Different
Most governance products treat governance as control—a gate you pass once. We treat governance as coverage - a field you maintain continuously.
That Means
-
You don’t need a perfect policy to start.
-
You need reliable signals that show where reality is diverging from intent.
-
You get early warning before the board, regulators, customers, or incidents force the conversation.
What It Monitors
1) Meaning Drift
-
When key terms change in practice (even if the policy text hasn’t changed)
-
When “temporary” interpretations become default behavior
3) Data Path Integrity
-
New data sources, new sinks, new exports
-
Sensitive data touching tools it shouldn’t
2) Decision Binding Points​
-
Where AI outputs are being treated as authoritative
-
Where approvals are assumed rather than logged
4) Tool & Agent Surface Area
-
New tools adopted outside approved paths
-
Emergent agent workflows that bypass review
5) Escalation Readiness
-
Whether escalation rules exist, are reachable, and are being used
-
Whether exceptions are being tracked as exceptions (not normalized)
What Success Looks Like
-
Fewer surprises in audits, incidents, and board questions
-
Faster AI deployment because escalation is explicit and trusted
-
Clear lines between “assistive” and “binding.”
-
Exceptions become visible data, not hidden precedent
-
Leadership can say, truthfully: “We know what’s happening.”
Governance is not a document. It’s a living system.
If you want governance that keeps up with AI speed, without slowing the business, ARI™ Continuous Governance will show you what’s drifting, what’s binding, and what must be escalated.
