ALTITUDE 3 · THE FUNCTION
The whole function on the Line , every stage, gates named, evidence locked.
CFO, CPO, CAE, the standards have moved under you. The 2024 Global Internal Audit Standards made technology a conformance matter; EU AI Act oversight duties are in force; finance and procurement frameworks are following the same arc. "We haven't decided yet" is now a gap, not a position.
Score your function, free →The 90-second pitch, sound optional, captions on.
The clock you're actually on
The regulator moved first
GIAS 2024 in force since January 2025; EU AI Act Article 14 makes named, tested, evidenced human oversight a legal requirement for high-risk AI.
Your function is already exposed
AI is inside it today, individually, unlogged, invisible to quality. The audit trail question arrives before the strategy question.
The answer is architectural
One discipline across every function: the Line drawn stage by stage, the Lock enforcing it, a named human where money, people or the regulator are touched.
Score your function first
Each instrument: thirty questions, instant scored report, your band and your two weakest fields, the honest starting point for the board conversation.
Four instruments, one discipline
From score to governed function
The readiness assessment
Free, instant, board-ready language. Where the function stands today.

Open →The Consulting School, every altitude, one discipline
Nineteen working methods for governed, AI-augmented consulting, the same methods Madeleine practises, taught as a working discipline for individuals, teams and whole functions. The first method is free. £39.99/month per student thereafter.
