QAi / Managed Governance
QAi Managed Governance
The continuation of the other five engagements. DNLA doesn't disappear after the verdict; it keeps watching the system it just assessed, so decay, drift, and cost creep get caught long before your customers notice.
Every other QAi engagement is a point-in-time snapshot: accurate the day it's delivered, and steadily less accurate after that, because production systems don't hold still. Data drifts, models get swapped, usage patterns shift, and costs creep. Managed Governance is what keeps a verdict current instead of letting it quietly expire.
It's built as a continuation, not a new starting point: the baseline comes from a prior QAi Health Check, Rescue Sprint, or Verification Badge, and the ongoing work is measured against that baseline rather than starting from zero each month.
Where it sits in the methodology
Scope of this engagement
Continuous tracking of Operational Maturity and Eval & Hallucination, with drift and cost monitoring across all five layers on a recurring cadence.
Layers examined
Signs it's time for this
- You've just completed a Health Check or Rescue Sprint and want the verdict to stay accurate
- Your customer base is growing and you need cost-per-customer tracked, not just checked once
- You need ongoing evidence of quality and risk monitoring for governance or compliance purposes
- The system has burned you with silent decay before and you don't want it to happen again
How it runs
Step by step
- Onboarding: baseline established from the most recent QAi audit
- Monthly evals and canary questions run against that baseline
- Monthly cost and quality reporting
- Quarterly drift review
- Fix recommendations as issues surface
- A recurring leadership briefing
How this compares
Managed Governance is the only QAi engagement that isn't a point-in-time audit; it's ongoing, and it requires a baseline from a prior engagement (typically Health Check) rather than starting cold.
What you receive
- Monthly evals
- Canary questions
- Cost & quality reporting
- Drift review
- Fix recommendations
- A recurring leadership briefing

Common questions
About this engagement
Do we need a Health Check first?
Yes: Managed Governance tracks a system against a baseline, and that baseline comes from a prior QAi Health Check, Rescue Sprint, or Verification Badge.
What does a monthly cycle actually involve?
Evals and canary questions run against your system, a cost-and-quality report, and fix recommendations where something has moved. Drift gets a deeper look quarterly.
What happens if something serious turns up mid-cycle?
It's flagged immediately rather than held for the next scheduled report. Managed Governance is monitoring, not a once-a-month check-in.
