AI governance for industrial operations

Know what the model is doing before the shift does.

Practical rules for AI in industrial operations. We help Southwest Louisiana employers and contractors decide where AI tools are allowed, who may use them, and what has to be reviewed before those tools touch operations, customer data, or a safety decision. Written for a plant supervisor, not a software conference.

Why it matters

Your crews and office already use AI. The question is whether anyone has set the rules.

Payment fraud

AI makes fake supplier invoices and voice-cloned “we changed our wire info” calls look and sound real, and they target the payments you send to suppliers and subs.

Leaked bids and client data

Estimators, project managers, and office staff paste bid numbers, specs, and client drawings into tools like ChatGPT, often with no rules about what is allowed.

Client and owner questions

Owners, operators, and GCs may start asking contractors how they handle AI and data. A written policy gives you a clear answer.

Services

Plain-English governance your people can actually follow

AI use policy

A one-page rule sheet for crews and office staff, plus the full written policy: approved tools, what never goes into AI, which decisions stay with a person, and who to ask.

AI risk assessment

We find every AI tool in use, including ones nobody approved, rank the risks, and give you a prioritized fix list.

Staff AI safety training

A 90-minute session on spotting AI scams, deepfake calls, and data leaks.

Tool and vendor review

A plain-language pass on a proposed AI product: data leaving the site, retention, human override, and who is accountable.

Operator briefing

A shift-ready explanation for supervisors and crews, so the rule survives its first week after being posted.

Governance memo

A record of the decision, the limits, and the review date, so the next audit is not a reconstruction.

Approach

Start with how your team works today

The first conversation is with operations, safety, or the front office: the people who will have to live with the rule.

  1. One short call

    About 20 minutes. We learn how your team uses AI today, the data you handle, and what you need from a policy.

  2. Flat-fee scope

    You get a written scope with deliverables, timeline, and a fixed price before any work starts.

  3. Review and draft

    We review your existing handbook and IT or privacy policies, then draft in plain English.

  4. Walk-through and record

    We walk your team through the draft, revise, and document the decision with a review date.

Frameworks

Grounded in recognized guidance

NIST

NIST AI Risk Management Framework

Our assessments follow the NIST AI RMF, including its Generative AI Profile.

TEXAS

Texas Responsible AI Governance Act

Following the NIST framework can also support a recognized defense under Texas’s AI law (TRAIGA).

Advisory, not certification. We are not a law firm. Our work is not legal advice, and we do not certify, audit, or attest to compliance with any law or standard.
