Request-only guidance

AI Architecture Guidance Library

A protected decision-support library for AI architecture, governance, compliance, and implementation risk.

I maintain this guidance library for decision makers and architects who need structured workflows for evaluating AI opportunities, classifying regulatory risk, designing trustworthy architectures, and making practical implementation trade-offs.

Access is currently by request only. If you are interested, contact me on LinkedIn and briefly describe your role, organization context, and what you want to use the guidance for. Approved users receive individual credentials.

Use the quick actions in the lower corner to request access, preview workflows, or enter the protected library.

The protected guidance area asks for credentials before loading the dashboard.

What the library provides

Workflow guidance: step-by-step patterns for AI strategy, architecture, governance, safety, evaluation, and operations.

Dual audience views: executive decision framing and architecture implementation detail.

Evidence-first structure: citations, standards mappings, budget signals, and lifecycle metadata.

Governance and compliance

Classify risk, map standards, and understand decision points before production deployment.

Architecture patterns

Compare context engineering, agent orchestration, trust boundaries, retrieval, memory, and observability patterns.

Cost and risk evaluation

Use budget-cost assumptions and implementation constraints to stress-test what is practical.

Domains covered

Workflow catalog by domain

The protected library currently tracks 51 workflows across 8 decision domains. Open each domain to preview the workflow coverage before requesting access.

Workflows are maintained over time as timelines, standards, regulations, vendor capabilities, and AI architecture technologies evolve.
