Ways to work together
ETHICMAP workshop
A facilitated session to map your program cycle, identify risk points, and design contestability, traceability, and repair into operations.
- Ideal for incentive programs, eligibility workflows, and reporting pipelines
- Outputs: risk register, control plan, and publish-ready change log template
Small Data Governance kit
Charters and operating rhythms for ethics boards or review committees — aligned to your real cadence and constraints.
- Committee charter and decision rights
- Appeals process template
- Data lineage and rule versioning standard
Background and credentials
This framework did not come from theory alone. It emerged from direct experience designing and operating wellness and incentive programs where real people were affected by data errors, ambiguous rules, and delayed corrections.
