Know where you stand.
Define how to move forward.
The 5D Assessment identifies organisational priorities. The Governance Framework turns those priorities into responsibilities, lifecycle activities and evidence. Use them together to build an AI capability your teams can sustain.

Start with the question you need to answer.

5D AI Governance Assessment
Where is your organisation ready to act, and what needs attention first?
- For
- Leaders, AI programme owners and governance teams.
- Examines
- Evidence across AI Team, Processes, Guidelines, Standards and Guardrails.
- Helps you establish
- An improvement roadmap with priorities and ownership.

Synapsed AI Governance Framework
How should governance shape the way an AI system is designed, built and reviewed?
- For
- Product owners, governance leads, engineers and assessors.
- Examines
- Decisions, responsibilities, lifecycle activities, controls and evidence.
- Helps you establish
- A working governance model connected to delivery.
Readiness and governance answer different questions.
| Decision | 5D Assessment | Governance Framework |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Current organisational practices and available evidence. | An AI initiative and the requirements, responsibilities and decisions it needs. |
| Main question | What is in place, what is missing and what matters most? | Who acts, at which point, with which controls and evidence? |
| Typical outputs | Findings, improvement priorities and a roadmap. | Defined activities, ownership, review points and evidence requirements. |
| Next step | Assign and implement the priority actions. | Apply the model, review the evidence and improve it as the system changes. |
Build a connected path to evidence.
- 01
Assess the organisation
Use the 5D dimensions to understand the starting point and agree priorities.
Decision: which capabilities need attention first?
- 02
Apply governance
Translate priorities into activities and accountable roles across the AI lifecycle.
Decision: what must be done before the next stage?
- 03
Test and improve
Use application testing and operational feedback to review the controls and the assumptions behind them.
Decision: what does the evidence support, and what needs to change?
