The situation.
Sensitive analysis requires more than access to an AI model. Organisations need control over where data resides, how evidence is handled and who has authority over consequential outputs. A specialist concept needed to become a clearly defined product and an implementable programme.
My responsibility
I translated the concept into a product scope, reference architecture and phased programme. The work connected specialist users, technical requirements and governance. The programme has since moved beyond concept into implementation with government organisations.
The decisions
behind the work.
Keep analysis under organisational control
Design local AI analysis around an evidence store and controlled workflows. Deployment options include on-premises and isolated environments.
Preserve evidence and human authority
Build evidence provenance, access control and auditable workflows into the architecture, with human sign-off for critical outputs.
Define the boundaries before adding capabilities
Give different users appropriate capabilities and explicit limits on permitted use. Connect demonstrators, evaluation measures, training needs and the roadmap to a phased delivery programme.
