Proof of Work

Evidence Standard

Proof should resolve to a source, an artifact, or a decision someone owns.

Inspect an illustrative sample before deciding whether our research is useful for your next executive decision. These examples show a proposed structure, not a completed customer engagement or a demonstrated business result.

Open-Source Evidence Standard

The point is not applause. The point is examinability.

Every public claim should make the reader more certain about the standard of work, the source base, and the artifact a board could actually use.

What changes here

The public sample packet contains a board briefing agenda, a decision-rights map, an evidence register, role prompts, and an illustrative lab-output structure. It is a sample of format and reasoning, not proof that these tools have produced customer results.

Illustrative sample — not a customer case

Examine one sample: the decision-rights map.

Question

For a proposed AI activity, who may approve it, pause it, receive an escalation, and own the evidence?

Sample structure

The illustrative map separates these responsibilities by activity. Compare the headings with your own authority rules; do not treat the example assignments as instructions for your organization.

Inspect it

Read Sample 02: Decision-rights map, or download the illustrative sample packet. Neither establishes readiness or grants permission to deploy.

Doctrine Sources

The source trail is part of the product.

NIST / ISO

Risk management, management systems, and accountability categories.

Official references: NIST AI Risk Management Framework and ISO/IEC 42001 overview (the full ISO standard is sold separately).

SEC / Delaware

Disclosure discipline, oversight expectations, and board record pressure.

Official sources: SEC example: settled charges over AI-marketing statements (18 March 2024); Delaware Courts opinions and orders repository. These are source materials, not a determination of an organization’s legal duties.

OECD / EU AI Act

Human oversight, transparency, robustness, and cross-border governance obligations.

Official reference: OECD AI Principles, a principles resource rather than a substitute for applicable law.

Boundary

What this evidence does — and does not — show.

The examples are illustrative, not client work product, legal advice, compliance certification, or evidence of a completed engagement. They require local review and testing. We do not present a sample, simulation, or proposed method as a verified customer outcome.
