Start with the diagnostic. Everything else follows from what it finds.

1. A scoping conversation with the chair and corporate secretary to establish priorities and expectations.
2. Confidential self-assessments and the evidence audit to evaluate individual AI knowledge and existing governance practices.
3. An observed board discussion of a disguised real case to assess how directors approach complex AI decisions.
4. Findings and a peer benchmark, presented to the chair first to review results and identify priorities.
5. A 12-month plan: what to train, what needs an advisor, and what needs a director, with clear next steps.
