AI Governance
Map AI Data Boundaries Before You Write Another AI Policy
AI governance starts getting useful when teams map what data can enter each AI workflow, what stays out, and where humans approve the result.
Read field noteGoverned AI Workflows
Move your team from random AI usage to governed AI workflows.
Most companies are solving the wrong AI problem. They buy tools and train people, but never redesign the work. AI tools now have a blast radius.
Async advisory for teams trying to turn AI usage into measurable workflow improvement. VibeSec is a founder-led advisory practice for teams that need one business workflow mapped, controlled, and made safe for AI-assisted work. Start with the free FORGE AI Workflow Starter Kit and the public VibeSec Advisory Skill Library, then adapt the best patterns to your tools, data, approvals, and guardrails.
Free PDF plus public skill libraries. Start with a workflow map, Skill template, guardrails checklist, and downloadable GTM skills. A Skill Library is a set of reusable AI workflow instructions, review gates, data boundaries, and safe example runs.

AI Governance
Your AI Agent Needs a Tool Inventory Before It Needs More Policy
Before an AI agent touches files, APIs, databases, or customer systems, map the tools it can call and the decisions humans must approve.

AI Rewards People Who Learn by Doing
AI does not replace learning. It tightens the feedback loop for people who believe they can figure things out and stay engaged with the work.
Read field noteThe Problem
AI adoption without workflow design creates invisible risk.
People are using copilots, agents, and MCP-connected tools inside live business processes. The question is no longer whether AI is being used. The question is whether the workflow has a baseline, reusable skills, permissions, review points, and a measurement loop.
Six-pillar operating model
Baseline, Skills, Agents, Guardrails, Schedule, Capture.
Business metrics first
Every advisory path starts with the current metric and 90-day target.
Guardrails by design
Human checkpoints, data boundaries, action limits, escalation, and security are mapped together.
Insured advisory practice
Professional liability and cyber coverage, with proof available on request.

FORGE
A six-pillar model for agent-ready work.
FORGE turns a real process into a governed workflow with a current-state metric, captured skills, controlled agent actions, review checkpoints, schedule rules, and a capture loop.
01
Baseline
The before number, owner, source system, and target.
02
Skills
Reusable prompts and instructions that capture expert work.
03
Agents
Workers assigned only where reliability and impact make sense.
04
Guardrails
Human approvals, data boundaries, action limits, escalation, and security.
05
Schedule
Triggers, cadence, dependencies, and failure handling.
06
Capture
Measurement, pruning, regression checks, and expansion.
How We Work
Less strategy theater. More usable operating artifacts.
Capture
The Starter Kit gives teams a workflow map, Skill template, and guardrails checklist before custom advisory work.
Map
The intake and async review force the process into concrete steps, owners, tools, review points, and failure modes.
Contain
Guardrails are designed as blast-radius controls, not vague policy language.
Measure
Every recommendation ties back to a business metric and a 90-day target.
