Big Four AI governance

Approve AI in software without approving uncontrolled data risk.

This webapp translates AI usage in engineering into board-level decisions. It explains how senior developers should operate as product managers and reviewers, what is acceptable in regulated financial services, and why every prompt is an outbound data channel.

Decision snapshot
  • Green AI supports code drafts and documentation with no sensitive data.
  • Amber AI may operate inside private tenants with logging, redaction, and retention controls.
  • Red No client data goes to public AI services. Ever.
Who

Senior developers lead

The most successful teams treat AI as a junior producer. Seniors define intent, constraints, and acceptance criteria, then redirect until the output is auditable.

Where

Regulated boundaries

Banks, insurers, audit, and funds can adopt AI safely when data classification dictates the deployment model, not convenience.

Why

Data leakage is structural

Every prompt leaves your device, creating a permanent record. Scale does not reduce risk; it makes exposure statistically visible.

Start here

Use the decision flow to classify risk, identify controls, and decide whether a use-case is allowed.
