Data & AI Center of Excellence for Agentic AI

A structured, governance-first approach to establishing enterprise command and control over your AI agent workforce.

What It Is

A 90-day advisory engagement that designs and activates a Data & AI Center of Excellence purpose-built for the agentic era. Unlike traditional AI CoEs focused on model development, this service establishes the organisational structure, governance architecture, and operational discipline required to deploy, govern, and scale AI agents across regulated enterprise environments.

The service applies Lean Six Sigma methodology to agentic AI governance — treating agent failures as defects, excess permissions as waste, and governance incidents as process deviations. It is built on Corvair’s patent-pending Architecture-First methodology and aligns to MAS AIRG, EU AI Act, NIST, HIPAA, Basel III, and FDA 21 CFR requirements.

The CoE Architectural Framework

Strategic Alignment

Prioritisation of high-ROI use cases, business KPI alignment, executive sponsorship, and “Agent Sigma” quality measurement.

Trusted Data Ecosystem

Eradication of data silos through data mesh fabrics, semantic entitlement layers, and end-to-end lineage from source to agent output.

Responsible AI Governance

Ethics board review, EU AI Act risk-tier mapping, bias auditing, Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) triggers, and automated compliance monitoring.

AI Operations (MLOps & FMOps)

Model orchestration, continuous drift monitoring, prompt lifecycle management, and strict rollback protocols.

The 90-Day Activation Roadmap

Days 1–30: Charter & Taxonomy
  • Establish the Hub-and-Spoke governance mandate
  • Appoint AI Governance Lead
  • Inventory all existing shadow AI and map data assets
  • Define the AI agent taxonomy and risk classification
Days 31–60: The Perimeter & Fabric
  • Deploy the Semantic Entitlement Layer
  • Enforce RBAC/ABAC on target data warehouses
  • Establish the Walled Garden infrastructure
  • Activate FMOps pipelines and model registry
Days 61–90: The First Governed Agent
  • Launch a low-risk, high-impact internal agent
  • Establish baseline DMAIC metrics
  • Execute first automated compliance audit
  • Deliver the AI CoE Maturity Assessment (Level 1–5)

What You Get

CoE Charter & Operating Model

A board-approvable document defining the Hub-and-Spoke governance structure, roles, decision rights, and escalation pathways.

AI CoE Maturity Assessment

A five-level maturity evaluation (Ad Hoc → Defined → Operationalised → Measured → Adaptive & Autonomous) with a scored roadmap for progression.

Regulatory Risk Mapping

A comprehensive matrix mapping your AI use cases to EU AI Act risk tiers, MAS AIRG domains, NIST controls, and applicable industry-specific regulations (Basel III, HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR).

Walled Garden Architecture Blueprint

Technical design for a three-stage secure analytics environment: Raw Repositories → Semantic Entitlement Layer → Governed Walled Garden with zero public LLM data leakage.

Agent Governance Playbook

Operational procedures for agent identity, just-in-time privilege brokering, blast radius calculation, reasoning assurance, and kill switch protocols — aligned to Corvair’s ten-component Architecture-First methodology.

DMAIC Baseline & KPI Dashboard Specification

Statistical baselines for agent telemetry including model accuracy, data drift, bias index, and governance incident rate, with Six Sigma control chart specifications.

How It's Different

This is not a strategy document that sits on a shelf. In 90 days, you will have a functioning Center of Excellence with a governed agent in production. The methodology is built on Lean Six Sigma — the same quality discipline your COO and CRO already trust — applied to the novel challenge of autonomous AI systems. No other advisory firm combines patent-pending agentic governance architecture with Six Sigma process control and hands-on activation in a single engagement.

Engagement Details

  • 90 days total: 30 advisory days across three phases.
  • Delivered personally by Christopher Jackson. Senior-only — no junior analysts, no delegation.
  • Federated Hub-and-Spoke model designed for multi-business-unit enterprises.
  • Includes a live governed agent in production by Day 90.
  • Pairs naturally with the MAS AIRG Readiness Assessment and AI Governance Framework Design for institutions requiring full regulatory coverage.
