Operating artifacts for governed AI execution.
The TLC Starter Kit helps teams diagnose Coordination Debt™, define token ceilings, govern AI features, and connect AI execution to financial accountability.
- Diagnose Coordination Debt™
- Govern AI features before execution
- Set token ceilings before sprint commitment
- Connect AI activity to financial accountability

What's Inside
Six artifacts that turn AI governance into operating discipline.
Coordination Debt Diagnostic
Purpose
Identify where translation, latency, reporting, and duplication costs accumulate across AI execution.
Best Used By
CIOs, transformation leaders, AI operating teams.
Output
A prioritized view of coordination friction.
Feature Ledger Template
Purpose
Convert AI ideas into governed inventory with ownership, success criteria, token ceilings, and kill conditions.
Best Used By
AI Product Managers and product leaders.
Output
A controlled portfolio of AI-enabled features.
Token Capacity Planning Sheet
Purpose
Allocate token budgets before execution begins — replacing uncapped AI spend with governed sprint allocation.
Best Used By
AI PMs, engineering leaders, and finance partners.
Output
Sprint-level token ceilings and allocation decisions.
Migration Mandate Brief
Purpose
Establish executive authority for moving from subjective story points to measurable AI execution governance.
Best Used By
CIOs, CTOs, and transformation sponsors.
Output
A formal operating mandate for AI-native governance.
Token Velocity Dashboard
Purpose
Track value delivered relative to token consumption — the core signal for AI execution efficiency.
Best Used By
AI operating teams and executive review groups.
Output
A measurable execution signal across sprints.
Tokenomics P&L Worksheet
Purpose
Connect token cost, coordination cost, and business contribution into a financial accountability view.
Best Used By
CFO partners, CIOs, and portfolio owners.
Output
Feature-level and portfolio-level AI economics.
Why These Exist
AI governance fails when
it stays abstract.
Policies do not create operating discipline by themselves. TLC templates convert governance into artifacts that can be owned, reviewed, measured, improved, and reused across AI execution cycles.
From opinion to evidence
Without operating artifacts, AI governance is a set of opinions. Templates convert governance into structured evidence — reviewable, comparable, and improvable across sprints.
From pilots to operating decisions
Pilots produce results. Templates produce decisions. The difference between AI experimentation and AI governance is the presence of structured artifacts that trigger action.
From AI spend to financial accountability
Spend without attribution is invisible. Templates create the connective tissue between token consumption and financial outcomes — making AI spend visible to the people who govern capital.
Where to Start
Start with the operating sequence.
Step 01
Diagnose Coordination Debt™
Artifact
Coordination Debt™ Diagnostic
Decision Enabled
Where AI execution is slowed by human coordination cost.
Step 02
Inventory AI features
Artifact
Feature Ledger Template
Decision Enabled
Which AI capabilities should be governed, funded, continued, or killed.
Step 03
Set token ceilings
Artifact
Token Capacity Planning Sheet
Decision Enabled
How much cognitive capital each sprint is allowed to consume.
Step 04
Review value contribution
Artifact
Tokenomics P&L Worksheet
Decision Enabled
Which AI investments deserve additional allocation.
Who Should Use This
Built for teams responsible for AI execution control.
CIO / CTO
Use the Diagnostic to map Coordination Debt™ and governance gaps, then use the Feature Ledger and Migration Mandate to establish executive accountability across the AI portfolio.
AI Product Manager
Use the Feature Ledger and Token Capacity Planning Sheet to govern every AI feature with measurable ceilings, success criteria, and sprint-level allocation.
Transformation Leader
Begin with the Coordination Debt™ Diagnostic to surface what is broken, then use the Migration Mandate to build organizational authority for AI system decisions.
Engineering Leader
Use the Token Capacity Planning Sheet and Token Velocity™ Dashboard to govern sprint execution — replacing unlimited AI spend with measurable output discipline.
Finance Partner
Use the Tokenomics P&L Worksheet to connect AI inference costs to revenue contribution — giving finance the model needed to govern AI investment at the portfolio level.
