Aegis Governance

Framework

Five stages, one continuous loop.

The Aegis Framework is deliberately small. Five stages, applied proportionately, mapped to the obligations you already carry.

  1. Stage 01

    Inventory

    You cannot govern what you cannot see. We build a live register of models, datasets, vendors and use cases with named accountable owners.

  2. Stage 02

    Assess

    Each use case is tiered on impact, autonomy and reversibility. Tiering drives how much scrutiny it earns — nothing more, nothing less.

  3. Stage 03

    Test

    Evaluations matched to the tier: accuracy, subgroup performance, robustness, adversarial behaviour, and human-override effectiveness.

  4. Stage 04

    Control

    Approval gates, disclosure requirements, logging, and fallbacks written as controls, with owners and evidence for each one.

  5. Stage 05

    Monitor

    Drift, complaint and incident signals routed to the people who can pause a system, with periodic reassessment on a fixed cadence.

Principles we won't trade away

  • Proportionate scrutiny — high-impact systems get depth, low-impact ones get speed.
  • Evidence over assertion — a claim without a test result is not a control.
  • Human accountability — every model has a person, not a committee, who owns it.
  • Governance that survives launch day and the next model version.
