About Threshold

Practitioner-led from the start.

Threshold combines a consistent Method with experienced people who interpret what the evidence means for the institution, what matters, and what is worth changing.

Threshold began with a pattern.

AI was moving from strategy and experimentation into real services, workflows and decisions. Institutions already had technology, data, security, legal, procurement and operating functions doing important work.

The harder question was how those pieces came together around AI, which governance issues genuinely mattered, and what action was worth taking.

How is AI actually governed here, and what is worth changing?

Threshold was built around that question.

The Method gives consistency. People bring context.

A finding is only useful when the institution understands what it affects, how much it matters here, and whether anything should change.

Start with what exists.

Threshold begins with the governance, controls and responsibilities already in place rather than assuming the institution needs to start again.

Interpret the finding in context.

Evidence establishes what is there. Practitioner judgment helps determine its significance for this institution.

Change only what is worth changing.

Sometimes the right response is a new decision or control. Sometimes the existing arrangement is already enough.
