Governance Phase II

Waiting to be picked uplast activity Oct 26

Next: Update the pickup note and the object model with what the October product sessions decided, then keep building in the lab as c118, c121 and c123 need it.

Why we did this

Our advisor wrote fourteen ideas for governing AI, and our screens described the same things in older, mismatched words across separate pages.

What happened

The fourteen ideas became one model and eight connected screens to try it on. Two weeks of advisor sessions then made the model smaller, and later cycles built that.

What changed

The three changes that matter most, in plain words. Open any one to see it.

  1. 1

    The findings list groups problems under the rule that caught them, with open and resolved as separate switches and a flat view one click away.

    Findings, grouped by the rule that raised them · came from Mark Peterson and Mark Parsonopen →

  2. 2

    Fourteen separate ideas became one model with one rule: what happened is never edited, and every change records who, when and why.

  3. 3

    A finding's page shows what happened, every change to it with the reason, and the session around it.

Also in this cycle
  • Each policy gets one page holding its severity, where it applies, how it is enforced and its findings. Before → after
  • The eight screens were reviewed in order on a guided walk, and every ruling was written down where it was made. New in this cycle
  • Any page can now be opened in Illustrator with real, editable text, so hand design starts from the page. New in this cycle

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.

“At least show, like, know, what happened before, what happened just after in that session, and then if there's also rule violations in that session, like, that would also be useful to know.”

“If you really wanna get the entire. That, well, you jump to the session page to view everything, not Not the specific instance of a rule.”

We decided

c114-D4 Use the intents' words everywhere: Policy, Framework, Finding, Resolution, Exception. — Mark Parson

c114-D8 Design from the model, but reuse any existing piece that already fits it. — Mark Parson

So now

The findings list groups problems under the rule that caught them, with open and resolved as separate switches and a flat view one click away.

We decided

c114-D0 Read the fourteen intents for one model, not one page per intent; screens follow from the model. — Mark Parson

c114-D1 The more specific scope wins, like CSS: organization, then team, then person. — Mark Parson

c114-D2 A change re-checks open findings going forward only, and can reopen one, with its cause. — Mark Parson

c114-D3 Enforcement set up and enforcement confirmed are different; show how many devices really enforce. — Mark Parson

So now

Fourteen separate ideas became one model with one rule: what happened is never edited, and every change records who, when and why.

Wrote the fourteen ideas the whole cycle is built on

His intents repo set the model and vocabulary; he marked the delivery phase for every section. In sessions he asked for the session around a finding, an audit trail on every change, and separating closing the past from preventing the next one.

Ruled the model and redrew it by hand

Made the three gating rulings on the first day, walked the eight screens, and redrew the finding and policy pages in Illustrator.
