Interactive Preview
A guided tour of the Decision Protocol — AI Edition.
This preview walks you through what we offer, what is inside each product, and gives you hands-on access to real documents and working tools — everything you need to evaluate before purchase.
- The three products we offer, compared side by side
- Real pages from the currently available frameworks
- A working triage tool you can try yourself
- An editable policy document that updates as you type
- A completed decision record, as it would appear in practice
Three products. One structured method.
The Decision Protocol Institute publishes structured instruments for defensible decision records in three purchasable configurations. You can buy a single framework to solve one specific control problem, or the Complete Suite — which combines both frameworks with four exclusive components designed to bridge the distance between owning documents and operating a working system.
- 5 core structured documents
- 2 supporting guidance documents
- 3 editable HTML working files
- 5 interactive tools
- 1 executed example
- 1 framework deployment guide
- AI Use & Control Framework (full kit)
- AI Vendor & Data Control Framework (full kit)
- + AI Governance Execution Library
- + Execution Library Navigator
- + Executive Briefing (10 pages)
- + Integrated Deployment Roadmap
- 5 core structured documents
- 2 supporting guidance documents
- 3 editable HTML working files
- 5 interactive tools

Most organizations need both frameworks. Internal AI use and external vendor relationships are two sides of the same governance problem. Solving one without the other leaves a gap that auditors, regulators, and incidents will find.
The four Suite-exclusive components — Execution Library, Execution Library Navigator, Executive Briefing, and Deployment Roadmap — are the difference between owning documents and deploying a system. They are not available with individual framework purchases.
One structured method. Two entry frameworks.
The currently available frameworks solve two different internal control problems using the same underlying method. They are designed to function immediately as standalone systems of instruments, while also forming part of a larger structured discipline for defensible decision records.
- Acceptable Use Policy
- AI Literacy Checklist
- Shadow AI Disclosure Protocol
- Use Case Triage Tool
- Governance Rollout Memo
- Vendor & Data Control Policy
- Vendor Review Checklist
- AI Tool Onboarding Protocol
- Restricted Data Triage Tool
- Vendor Escalation Matrix
This is not a collection of generic templates. It is a structured internal control layer designed for immediate organizational use.
What exactly is inside
Each framework is delivered as a structured downloadable package. The documents are not isolated — they are linked by the underlying method: policy defines rules, triage classifies risk, disclosure surfaces violations, approval routes decisions, and rollout communicates to the organization.
| Component | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Core Policies | PDF + Editable HTML | Define the governance rules — what is permitted, restricted, and prohibited |
| Triage Tools | Interactive HTML | Classify use cases and data by risk tier with built-in decision logic |
| Assessment Checklists | Interactive HTML | Structured evaluation criteria for vendors, tools, and readiness |
| Rollout Memos | PDF + Editable HTML | Executive communication instruments for governance launch |
| Matrices | Map controls to owners, approvers, and escalation paths | |
| Executed Examples | Show what completed decision records look like | |
| Deployment Guide | Step-by-step implementation from Day 1 |
A generic template pack gives forms. A structured system of instruments gives routing, interpretation, internal control, and a decision record designed to hold under later scrutiny.
Real pages from the frameworks
Below are actual pages from two documents included in the AI Use & Control Framework: the Acceptable Use Policy and the Use Case Triage Tool. Use the arrows to navigate. These are not mockups — they are the real documents you receive after purchase.
AI Acceptable Use Policy — Cover
Each full document is between 4 and 10 pages, professionally structured, and ready for internal deployment. The watermark shown here does not appear in the purchased product.
AI Acceptable Use Policy — §3
This is a real excerpt from the AI Acceptable Use Policy. Notice the structure: it is not advisory language. It is a deployable structured instrument with clear categories, escalation rules, and enforcement provisions.
The full policy is 10 pages and covers: Scope & Applicability, Definitions, Permitted Uses, Prohibited Uses, Data Handling Rules, Approval & Escalation, Monitoring & Enforcement, and Policy Acknowledgment.
AI Use Case Triage Tool
This is a working excerpt from the triage tool. Answer the screening questions to see how the tool classifies AI use cases by risk tier. This is the actual decision logic your team would use.
The full triage tool includes 10 screening questions covering additional dimensions: regulatory exposure, vendor dependency, model transparency, and output criticality.
Editable Document Demo
Every core policy comes with an editable HTML version. Open it in any browser, fill in your organization's details, and the document updates in real time. Try it below.
Executed Example
The frameworks show what a completed decision record looks like. This is one of 20 fully worked case records included in the Complete AI Governance Suite.
The use case was classified as Restricted, not Permitted, because the AI output is external-facing and carries brand and reputational risk. A factual error or a misaligned tone reaches customers directly. This crosses the threshold for human review and recorded sign-off, even though the data shared with the model is non-sensitive.
It was not classified as Prohibited because the tool is approved, the data is non-sensitive, and the output is reviewed by qualified humans before publication. Prohibited applies where review cannot reasonably catch the failure mode.
A serious structured method should not only tell teams what to do. It should also show what a completed decision record looks like.
How a team would actually use this
A framework only has value if an organization can begin using it without needing external interpretation first.
The purpose of the framework is not only to define rules, but to make controlled organizational use possible immediately.
