PAID IMPLEMENTATION KIT
A practical governance pack for financial-services teams that need to define authority, ownership, evidence and intervention for a material AI-enabled use case.
THE PROBLEM
Many teams can build or procure an AI-enabled workflow before they have agreed the operating conditions around it. The result is uncertainty about authority, ownership, system access, evidence and intervention.
The AI Accountability Starter Kit gives a cross-functional team a practical structure to answer those questions for one priority workflow.
ONE-DAY OUTCOMES
Decide whether the workflow assists, recommends, initiates or executes an action.
Record permitted actions, prohibited actions, thresholds and human-approval requirements.
Clarify business ownership, executive sponsorship, Technology responsibilities and independent challenge.
Document models, data, prompts, tools, APIs, third parties and permissions.
Define the records needed to understand a material AI-enabled action later.
Set escalation triggers, pause authorities, fallback arrangements and review routines.
WHAT IS INCLUDED
Eight practical components. Editable files are included in the post-purchase bundle.
Editable DOCX and XLSX/Google Sheets-compatible templates, a printable PDF and a completed fictional example.
Workshop-ready PDF, editable slide deck and facilitation notes for classifying assist, recommend, initiate and execute workflows.
Editable responsibility map covering business, Technology, Data, Risk, Compliance, Legal, Audit and intervention authority.
DOCX and XLSX templates for model, provider, prompt, data, tools, permissions, scope and autonomy changes.
Editable DOCX and printable PDF for containment, investigation, escalation, remediation, recovery and reactivation.
PowerPoint and XLSX templates for inventory, autonomy, changes, indicators, incidents, complaints, actions and decisions.
Editable project plan and PDF organised around inventory, controls, evidence, intervention and reporting.
A concise guide to running the one-day workshop and turning the outputs into a 90-day action plan.

SUGGESTED AGENDA

Use the Autonomy Risk Matrix to identify boundaries and approval requirements.
Complete the RACI and document model, data, tools, permissions and dependencies.
Complete the Accountability Record and agree the evidence required for material actions.
Identify triggers, authority, pause/restrict options and recovery steps.
Use the 90-Day Plan and MI Template to assign owners, dates and decisions.
IMPORTANT BOUNDARIES
The AI Accountability Starter Kit is an operational governance resource. It does not provide legal advice, regulatory certification, audit assurance or a substitute for a firm’s own governance, risk-management, data-protection and compliance responsibilities.
It does not guarantee that an AI-enabled workflow is safe, fair, suitable or free from error. The FCA’s approach to AI is principles-based, outcomes-focused and technology-neutral. The Kit helps teams apply existing governance expectations proportionately to AI-enabled workflows.
HOW IT FITS
The Kit helps a team establish a baseline for one workflow. Firms that need independent challenge, a review across multiple use cases or a decision-ready executive roadmap can progress to BuildMoat’s AI Accountability Diagnostic.
