About zedhaque
Better AI governance starts with a use case people can examine.
zedhaque creates practical resources that help AI use-case proposers explain an idea clearly and help governance reviewers identify gaps before deciding what should happen next.
Clear before complex
Start with a shared definition of the problem, evidence, expected value, ownership and proposed use before adding assessment layers.
Evidence over assumption
Make what is known, unknown and still to be tested visible so the next decision can be proportionate and defensible.
People stay accountable
Use practical structure to support human judgment and existing organisational processes—not replace them.
Why this work
Make the first governance conversation more useful.
AI ideas can enter an organisation through business teams, technical teams, procurement, pilots or individual experimentation. Without a common starting point, similar ideas can be described and reviewed very differently.
The Starter Pack brings the essential information into one brief: the problem, evidence, expected outcome, affected people, accountable owner, proposed AI-supported task, boundaries, unknowns and next decision.
That gives proposers a clearer case to bring forward and gives reviewers a more consistent place to begin. Each organisation remains responsible for the evidence, assessment and approvals that follow.
How the workbook was developed
Twenty questions, one practical starting brief.
The questions begin with the recurring use-case lifecycle problem: ideas arrive in different formats, important evidence is missing and ownership or the next decision is unclear. They are grouped into five steps covering context, problem and outcome, people and responsibility, proposed use, and boundaries and next steps.
Public material from the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, Australian Government digital guidance and Microsoft Responsible AI resources informed the field design. The wording, workbook structure and fictional examples were created for this Starter Pack.
Those references do not endorse, certify or approve the pack. The result is a definition brief—not a compliance assessment or a substitute for your organisation's review process.
About the founder
Experience across governance, AI delivery and complex organisations.
Zed Haque is the founder of zedhaque. He works where AI governance meets practical delivery, helping organisations turn policy and risk requirements into clearer, proportionate decisions for AI use cases.
He implemented an end-to-end Microsoft Agent 365 governance program in a federal agency, designed so agents across the agency start with the right governance, security and controls from day one. His wider experience spans AI governance, AI engineering, solution design, digital product management and business analysis across Federal and State Government, financial services, telecommunications and digital businesses. It includes roles with Transport for NSW, UBank, Vodafone, Compare the Market and Harvey Norman.
Earlier, Zed founded room33 and later documented that venture-building experience in Founder's Tale. Together, these roles inform the Starter Pack's emphasis on a clear problem, visible evidence, accountable ownership, explicit boundaries and a defined next decision.
