Defensible AI governance for high-consequence systems. Texas-based. Globally focused. Vendor-neutral. Fixed-fee.
Most AI failures aren't technology failures. They're governance failures.
Defensible AI governance requires three things at once:
• Certified competence
• Policy foresight
• Vendor objectivity
Miss one, and trust collapses under scrutiny.
The Triangle of Trust.

Most AI risk doesn’t come from AI teams.
It enters through procurement and everyday tools that no one re-evaluated.
Governance failures are operational failures.

Adm Holsey retires today.
"It’s an almost incredibly honorable course of conduct for Holsey to have declined to capitulate to Hegseth’s bullying & instead to honor his oath to the Constitution by quietly giving up the job most Naval officers can only dream about."

Are we using AI, or is it already being used in the shadows?
Most teams can answer the first part.
Very few can explain the risk.
Clarity wins in January.
I’ll share a few field notes this month to help leaders walk into the boardroom prepared.

It’s not about tech hype. It’s about decisions.
If you can’t explain how trust is built, you can’t explain how AI decisions hold up.

Most AI programs don’t fail because of the tech.
They fail because they can’t prove trust.
Controls, evidence, defensibility, and assurance are what make AI systems real, reliable, and regulator-ready.
Trust-first beats tool-first.
