Executive front door · A simpler entry point
The Five-Domain View
Most institutions govern only fragments of AI — usually teaching and academic integrity — while gaps open everywhere else. This is a mission-aligned, five-part structure that folds the complete nine-domain architecture into a front door leaders can actually hold in their head.
The Five-Domain view is the accessible executive summary; the original Nine-Domain architecture remains the complete reference for detailed policy work. Every domain below maps directly onto it.
