Tools for staying in control of the agents you deploy.
Working tools built to implement the ACE Framework — for you, for the agents you build, for the evidence you will need, and for the board you brief. Free, from Camille Stewart Gloster and CAS Strategies, and added to as the practice moves.
Weigh a delegation before you make it
P-ACE: A Simple Model for Staying in Control
The ACE principles applied to your own life: four dimensions to weigh before you delegate, a seven-question readiness test, and six guardrails.
For anyone handing real tasks to an AI agent at work or at home.
Readers of the book also have the full P-ACE chapter and step-by-step ACE implementation guidance in their bonus materials.
AI at Work: A Practical Guide
How to use AI without losing judgment, trust, or leverage. Written by CAS Strategies for people whose workplaces expect them to use AI. Part of the Digital Fluency Collective toolkits.
Set the boundaries for an agent you are building
Build an Agent Without Losing the Plot
A guided app: decide what your agent should do, where its authority stops, who needs to be involved, and what to test before you rely on it.
No AI governance background required.
Can you explain how an AI-driven decision actually happened?
Know what shaped the decision, how authority traveled, and what happened next.
The answer may span people, agents, tools, permissions, shared context, enterprise systems, and controls.
The toolkit helps you determine what evidence you need to reconstruct consequential decisions, and whether your existing systems can provide it.
Brief the board on AI without drowning it in detail
What belongs in front of the board, how much to say in each kind of briefing, and the questions to be ready for.
For whoever owns the AI conversation with the board: CEO, CIO, CISO, chief AI officer, general counsel, chief risk officer, corporate secretary.
Boards oversee the program, not individual deployments. The guide sizes the conversation accordingly:
- Initial briefing — with a deliberate education component
- Comprehensive review — annual, six to eight slides
- Recurring update — one to three slides
- The Board Altitude Test
- Three kinds of board conversation, and how deep each goes
- What belongs in the boardroom; what stays in the appendix
- The Enforcement Envelope at board altitude
- Six “instead of → say” translations
- Questions to expect: on the slide vs. in the room
- The slides for each kind of briefing
- When one deployment does warrant the board's attention
- Pre-flight checklist and the five-question test
Every tool here is built to put Authority-Centered Enforcement™, the ACE Framework introduced in The Insider You Built, into practice.
Delegating authority does not mean surrendering control. ACE is a practical way to decide what AI agents can do on your behalf and stay in control once they start acting: see, decide, respond, adapt.
Your copy includes bonus materials: the ACE Implementation Guide and the full P-ACE bonus chapter, When AI Acts for You. Find the private reader link inside the book.
