A working vocabulary for human-centered AI governance.
The framework in AI in the Org Chart is built from a small number of concepts, each designed to travel from the boardroom to the operating floor.
Human Point of Consequence
The named person who carries the meaning of an outcome — not the person nearest the button.
02The Second Map
The invisible chart of who actually makes decisions once AI enters the workflow.
03Voice Rights
The formal authority to speak into a decision — held by roles, not by whoever is closest to the system.
04Judgment Trail
The record of who considered what, when, and why — the audit surface for AI-shaped work.
05Challenge Path
The known route by which any person can question an AI-influenced decision without penalty.
06Judgment Apprenticeship
How organizations grow the next generation of judgment when routine work is automated.
07Space of Autonomy
The bounded region inside which an AI system may act without human intervention — and outside of which it may not.
