Executive AI Governance System | Touch Stone Publishers
Four Products. One Governance Architecture. Built So Serious Buyers Can Self-Qualify Before a Form.
The system is designed so a board chair, CEO, general counsel, or executive sponsor can read this page, understand exactly what they need, and request an invoice without a discovery call. Briefing first. Role clarity second. Operating model third. Working session fourth.
Proof basis
Built from public governance doctrine. Not consulting opinion.
Touch Stone draws from NIST AI RMF, OECD AI Principles, ISO/IEC 42001, EU AI Act materials, SEC AI-claim enforcement, and Delaware oversight doctrine. The work is executive decision support. It is not legal advice, a compliance certification, or a promise of liability reduction.
What the system delivers
Not transformation theater. Three governance outcomes every executive team can name.
Decision rights
Who may approve, pause, escalate, or reject AI use cases — mapped by risk tier and ownership, not seniority alone. Explicit before a decision is challenged.
Human oversight
When human review is required, what it must examine, and who holds the record. Technically enforced, not procedurally assumed.
Containment
Where AI autonomy is permitted and where it is not. The boundary the board can point to when the question arrives.
The organization that does not define decision rights has them defined by enforcement. The organization that does not document human oversight produces no record when one is required. The organization that has not established containment boundaries discovers them in litigation. The four products in this system address each of those failure modes — in order, before the pressure arrives.

Pricing posture
Focused executive usefulness. Not large-firm overhead.
Touch Stone is priced above commodity AI training and cheap templates, below large-firm transformation economics, and tied directly to the usefulness of the artifact or working session. A board-level buyer should be able to evaluate the complete investment picture from this page alone.

Individual role playbooks, the Executive Playbook, and leadership-team packets. Invoice-first until delivery is confirmed automated.
Governance labs
$7,500–$35,000+
Working sessions scoped to the room, the risk, and the artifacts required. Scope confirmed before invoice.
Institutional licensing
$7,500–$9,500
Internal distribution where usage terms must be explicit before delivery. Terms confirmed before invoicing.
