Interactive client workflow

5 gates
Decision Gate 1

Is the organisation about to commit itself?

Public position, governance posture, accountability commitment, architectural choice, or regulatory stance.

Why TGA is needed

Executives routinely underestimate when commitment actually occurs. By the time they realise, governance has already hardened.

If yes

Commitment forming
If no
Exit with paid advice: no governance intervention justified.
No irreversible commitment

Final determination

Proceed

Governance action is necessary. Accountability needs to be designed formally.

Work moves into governance design with a clear scope and owners.

Final determination

Defer

Governance action is not justified now. The organisation avoids premature commitment.

Paid judgement, rationale, and clear conditions for coming back if things change.

Final determination

Monitor

Governance may be needed later if conditions shift. TGA sets explicit re-engagement triggers.

Trigger-based monitoring without an open-ended advisory retainer.
