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.
Manufacturing data integrity verified at the boundary. Catches corrupt sensor feeds and missing telemetry.
Full test suite must pass. No exceptions for urgent production runs.
Hash-verified artifact comparison. Output drift logged and traced.
Risk-tiered: above 85% auto-adjusts. Safety-critical processes always escalate.
HMAC-signed audit trail for every production AI decision.
ISO 9001 alignment, safety interlocks, rollback to last-known-good state.
Plus a 30-minute AI readiness assessment.

No. The governance model applies to any organization deploying AI in manufacturing.
No. The checklist is free. The 30-minute assessment is free.
Most AI committees approve projects but don't govern deployments. The gates are operational checkpoints.
