AI governance decisions often involve people from operations, technology, privacy, security and leadership. They need to understand why a record needs further review. An unexplained rating makes that harder.

Show the reason for each finding

When a condition is raised, link it to the answer or information that triggered it. For example, a use that handles sensitive information may need privacy review because of the information recorded, not because the system produced an opaque score.

Use rules consistently

Clear rules help similar AI uses receive similar prompts, controls and approval steps. The rules should be versioned so the organisation can see the basis that applied when a decision was made.

Keep judgement with people

Rules can identify matters that need attention. They do not replace legal, privacy, security or operational judgement. The right process sends questions to an authorised person who can consider the organisation’s circumstances.
