Approach

Twelve months, eight packages, sequenced to compound

The framework is delivered as a phased build that mirrors the SOW deliverable schedule — ethics and risk controls first, then intake and inventory, then the measurement and governance layers that tie it together.

Land working software fast

Each package ships as an operating module — the OIG uses it, not files it. Value compounds from month two.

Cadence over ceremony

Monthly status, quarterly leadership reporting, and a standing governance board — predictable, lightweight, auditable.

Govern the AI you have now

We start from RISC's real stack — Databricks, Azure, Power BI — and the agentic build already underway.
