82% of AI initiatives never reach production. Not from bad technology — from no operating model. This is the governance checklist that makes AI board-defensible.
Six cryptographically-signed checkpoints between an AI model and a production outcome.
Verify AI cannot access or expose attorney-client privileged information.
Client data isolated per matter. No cross-contamination between cases.
Every AI-generated citation verified against primary sources before filing.
Risk-tiered: research auto-generates, filings require attorney sign-off.
HMAC-signed chain of custody for every AI touchpoint in a matter.
Competence (Rule 1.1), confidentiality (Rule 1.6), supervision (Rule 5.3).
Plus a 30-minute AI readiness assessment.
