Governance, Standards Tracking, and Firm-Wide Tools

Leading a team or firm means thinking about processes that scale beyond any single project — AI-use governance, staying current on code editions across every discipline your firm practices, and giving your team consistent tools and templates. This path centers on the site's governance and standards-tracking content, built for exactly this kind of firm-level decision-making.

A Suggested Path

Days 1-30Assess current state
  • Review the AI-Use Policy Template and compare it against your firm's current (formal or informal) AI practices — identify gaps.
  • Check the Standards & Code Updates Center for every code/standard your firm designs against, and confirm your team is aware of recent editions.
  • Survey your team informally on which AI tools they're already using, even informally, to establish a real baseline.
Days 31-60Formalize policy and process
  • Adopt (and have legal counsel review) a firm-specific AI-use policy based on the template.
  • Build an initial AI risk register covering your firm's most common AI-assisted work types.
  • Roll out the AI output verification checklist and human-review workflow to your team as a standard practice.
Days 61-90Standardize and monitor
  • Adopt a consistent load-calculation (or discipline-equivalent) reporting template firm-wide for documentation consistency.
  • Re-review your AI tool comparison quarterly, given how quickly vendor terms and capabilities change.
  • Set a recurring cadence (quarterly or per project phase-gate) to review the AI risk register and standards-update tracking as ongoing practices, not one-time setup.
