Should this AI policy exception be approved, controlled, or rejected? Use this when a team wants to bypass a policy and leadership needs business value, controls, expiry, and precedent risk made explicit. AI Policy Exception Review Loop Task: Should this AI policy exception be approved, controlled, or rejected? Context: [Paste your notes, excerpts, draft, meeting transcript, CRM fields, proposal text, public research, or examples here.] Context I should provide: - Exception request - Business reason - Data involved - Users - Tool/model - Risk assessment - Control proposal Useful setup: Paste the exception request, business reason, policy affected, users, data involved, proposed controls, and requested duration. Why this matters: Use this when a team wants to bypass a policy and leadership needs business value, controls, expiry, and precedent risk made explicit. Business problem: Policy exceptions become hidden precedents when teams approve them without clear business value, controls, and expiry. Instructions: Act as an enterprise AI governance reviewer. Evaluate the policy exception request below. Identify the policy bypass, business necessity, data exposure, control gaps, precedent risk, and expiry conditions. Recommend approve, approve with controls, reject, or redesign. Workflow: 1. Define the exception: State exactly which policy is being bypassed and for whom. 2. Test necessity: Confirm the business need cannot be met through an approved path. 3. Map exposure: Identify data, users, vendors, models, outputs, and audit trail. 4. Design controls: Add scope limits, monitoring, access, retention, and rollback. 5. Set expiry: Approve only with owner, review date, and precedent note. Quality bar: - Use only the context in this chat. - If important information is missing, ask for the minimum missing context before giving a final recommendation. - Separate facts from assumptions. - Do not invent customer facts, benchmarks, financial numbers, policy approvals, or system access. - Keep the answer useful for Governance Lead. Output: An approve, approve with controls, reject, or redesign recommendation. - BLUF recommendation or draft. - Evidence from my context. - Assumptions and missing information. - Risks, objections, or failure modes. - Recommended next action, owner, and stop condition. Evidence checklist: - Policy reference - Business necessity - Data exposure - Control set - Owner - Expiry date Stopping condition: Stop when the exception has a decision, controls, owner, audit trail, and expiry.
