Run it in RAMP
RAMP turns these templates into a working process: shadow AI reporting and import, a requirements document at intake, two-stage approval and board reporting, with a record of every decision.
These templates are starting points, not legal advice. Adapt them to your organization and have legal counsel review them before adoption.
