January 22, 2026 · 2 min read

AI governance has become a cottage industry of 40-page policies that nobody reads. At an SMB, you need three pages: what we will and will not use AI for, who reviews high-stakes decisions, and how we handle a customer-facing mistake.

Pair that with a weekly 30-minute review of incidents, drift, and proposed new use cases. That is 90% of the value of an enterprise governance program at 5% of the cost.
