Governance templates

Practical artefacts for HAL workflows. Download, adapt, and put them to work. Use when a workflow requires Human-Accountable-for-the-Loop governance.

Ownership .csv

Ownership Register

A single source of truth for every agent: owner, deputy, purpose, authority, risk level, HAL score, and review date.

Authority .csv

Map each permitted action to its limits, the enforcement mechanism, and the person who approved it.

Limits .csv

Capture the failure modes of an agentic system, their likelihood and impact, and the controls that mitigate each.

Escalation .csv

Define each escalation trigger, the named recipient, the response-time SLA, and whether the action pauses.

Evidence .md

Confirm that inputs, reasoning, versions, authority, and human touchpoints are captured immutably for every action.

Review .md

Structure a periodic review against the original justification: performance, incidents, drift, and continued fitness.

Monitoring .md

A runbook for when an agent misbehaves: detect, pause, contain, communicate, remediate, and learn.

Evidence .md

A reviewer-ready checklist covering all eight HAL domains, suitable for internal or external assurance.

Liability .md

Summarise the organisation's agentic estate for the board: scores, concentration of risk, incidents, and decisions needed.

Start with the Ownership Register. It is the anchor for everything else. Then work outward: an Authority Matrix per system, an Escalation Matrix for its triggers, and the Audit Checklist when you are ready to assure the lot.
