Fit existing boards

Route high-tier go-lives through the organization’s real risk, privacy, and change processes. An AI-specific markdown package should feed those boards, not replace them with a parallel approval cult.

Multi-tenant and multi-region

Residency is a routing constraint at the gateway. Tenant isolation failures are governance failures even when model quality is fine. Stage enablement by tenant and region; keep expansion criteria quantitative (error/safety rates, cost caps).

Evidence vs certification

This pattern produces operating evidence: inventory, control maps, gateway versions, drill logs. It does not assert ISO/IEC 42001 certification, NIST AI RMF “compliance,” or EU AI Act conformity. Map evidence into whatever assurance program you already run.

Vendor and subprocessors

Model/provider swaps are material changes. DPAs and regional endpoints must match the bound policy bundle. “The vendor is big” is not a control.

Retention and access

Prompt/tool logs often contain personal data. Align retention, access, and redaction with privacy counsel — do not invent a universal retention number in this document.
