Governance Essentials
TheworkingstartofAIinyourbusiness.
In 30 days your team is trained, your first AI workflow is running, and your position stands up when a client, an insurer, or a board asks. Governance Essentials is where successful AI adoption starts.
USD $690 for the founding cohort, the first twenty places. USD $990 after that.
A guided interview, most people finish in one sitting. Documents usually within two business days.
- 221 obligations tracked across 25 jurisdictions
- Every founding document reviewed by the legally trained founder before delivery
- Documents usually within two business days
- Training certificates independently verifiable at southernsky.ai/verify
People arrive here four ways.
- 01
Someone asked.
A client, an insurer's renewal questionnaire, a board, an auditor: what is your AI position? You need the answer in writing, and it has to be true.
- 02
The tools are already in use.
ChatGPT drafts the letters, Copilot arrived inside Microsoft 365, and you want to know the way your team works is aligned and compliant before anyone else asks the question.
- 03
You want the value.
Hours back in a stretched office and a first working AI workflow, with client data and the organisation's name protected while you get them.
- 04
Your team needs training.
On the tools they already use, to a standard you can point to when asked.
Essentials answers all four in one move. A guided interview reads your organisation once, and what comes back covers each door: a prompt library that puts your first governed workflow to work, 90 days of team education in the client portal, the written position that answers whoever is asking, and a recorded briefing for your leadership team. Governance is the method that makes each piece hold, much like the safety management system you already run: it exists so the vessel can sail.
What you leave with.
Your place is built to do a lot for the price. Here is everything in it.
- 01
A prompt library built for your operation.
Ready-to-use prompts drawn from your interview answers and your policy, so your team starts using AI on real work, inside the guardrails, in the first weeks. It is the practical start. Building AI tools and workflows deeper into your operation is the deployment step that follows.
- 02
Ninety days of team education, kept current.
Up to five of your team get the AI Foundations modules in the client portal for 90 days: what AI is and is not, where it shows up in maritime work, how to catch where it gets things wrong, and how to use it within the position your documents set. It is foundational literacy for everyone who touches the tools, not a course on any one product. And if a rule your documents rely on changes during those 90 days, we update your documents to match, at no extra cost.
- 03
Your governance system, in writing.
A draft AI Use Policy tailored to the regimes that reach you, a one-page Position Statement, a risk read across the four categories, accountability defined, an approved-tools register, human review checkpoints, and a training pathway. Every clause traces to the instrument behind it.
- 04
A recorded briefing of your position.
With your documents comes a personal video briefing: where your organisation stands, what the documents commit you to, and the moves that matter first. Made to be shown to your leadership team.
- 05
Bounded time with the practice.
Founding-cohort documents pass Kristina's personal review before delivery. A 30-minute walkthrough call within 30 days of delivery, and 30 days of direct email support with replies inside one business day.
The written documents are the core of your place. The prompt library, the ninety days of team education, the recorded briefing, the walkthrough call and the email support are all included in your place.
What the price includes.
The interview is adaptive: 34 questions at most, and 19 arrive pre-filled if you have run your AI Baseline. The documents assemble against verified obligations for your jurisdictions, with clause-level traceability across 25 jurisdictions and 221 obligations. Founding-cohort outputs carry Kristina's personal review before they reach you.
USD $690 for the first twenty places, then USD $990. One payment, no subscription required. The 90 days of portal education and policy currency are included in the price; after the 90 days you choose whether to continue at USD $69 a month, and nothing renews without your say-so.
The two paths join up. If you later want your draft reviewed with Southern Sky AI, the fee you paid credits toward that consulting engagement.
The shape of the 30 days.
Day one.
You purchase, then begin the guided interview. It adapts as you go, so you are only asked what applies to you, and most people finish in one sitting.
Within two business days.
Your documents arrive in PDF and Word, reviewed page by page before release. If your jurisdiction is researched specifically for you, we say so plainly and allow three to five business days.
Week one.
Your video briefing and your prompt library follow the documents, so your team can put AI to real work inside the guardrails from week one.
Within 30 days.
Your 30-minute walkthrough call, with 30 days of email support running alongside it.
Through day 90.
Your team works through the AI Foundations modules in the portal, and your documents stay aligned with the obligations they were drafted against.
Who this is for.
Leadership of a maritime organisation where AI is already in use and the standard behind it is still to be written: charter and vessel operations, management companies, shoreside businesses, marinas, associations, and the professional firms that serve them. If a client, an insurer, or a board asks for your AI position, this is the document set and the trained team that answers them.
Read a complete sample.
This is the full document, generated for a fictional Australian charter operator. Your own document carries only the regimes that reach you, each clause traceable to the obligation that shaped it.

Yet to see where you stand? The AI Baseline Report reads your position in about five minutes, and your answers pre-fill this interview.
Where it leads.
Essentials is the first step: your position in writing, and your team started safely. When you are ready to build AI further into the operation, these are the paths on from here.
AI Deployment.
The building itself: the tools, agents, and working environments your operation needs, with the governance you now hold already inside them. It starts with a conversation.
A live training day.
One day with your team, in person or online, built around the policy you hold. USD $1,700.
The Blueprint.
The structured governance engagement for organisations that want it done with us: leadership interviews, oversight mapping, and a roadmap your board can sign off. It starts with a conversation.
The Navigator Portal.
The standing client platform where your documents, education, and position live. Your Essentials place includes 90 days of portal access from day one.
The Blueprint routes through a conversation. Navigator opens to Essentials buyers first.
The outputs are governance artifacts, drafted for review and adoption inside your own organisation. Where legal advice is needed, it belongs with qualified counsel.
What the same position costs done with us.
The Blueprint is the full governance engagement, done with you: leadership interviews, oversight mapping, and a roadmap your board can sign off. It starts from A$14,000. Governance Essentials stands up the written position at the core of it, from a guided interview that reads your organisation and my personal review of every founding-cohort document, for USD $690. It is the same discipline, self-directed, at a fraction of the engagement fee.
My assurance to you.
I read every founding-cohort document before it reaches you. If what you receive does not give you a clear written position you can stand behind, I rework it until it does. The documents are governance artifacts for your own review and adoption, and where legal advice is needed it belongs with qualified counsel, but the standard of what I hand you is mine to answer for.
The founding cohort. Twenty places.
The founding cohort is twenty places at USD $690, and it carries something the standard tier leaves with your business: Kristina personally reviews every document the cohort receives before it is delivered. These first runs prove the system, so her review rides with them. After twenty, the price is USD $990 and the review retires. This offer does not repeat.
Australian purchasers are charged in Australian dollars plus GST, with a tax invoice.
