    Before you start

    Questions about getting started

    How long does it take to implement AI Sentri?

    Setup takes about five minutes, and most organisations have their first systems inventoried and scored on day one. Reaching a complete picture takes longer and depends almost entirely on how many parts of the business you need to survey to find everything.

    Do we need everything in place before we start?

    No, and waiting is the more common mistake. The platform exists to show you what is missing, so starting with a partial picture is the point rather than a problem. Systems with gaps score accordingly and generate the tasks needed to close them.

    Who needs to be involved?

    One person can build the initial register. After that, system owners fill in detail for what they run and the governance committee reviews the scores. The part that needs seniority is the initial sweep across departments, because someone has to be able to ask every team what they are using.

    How do we get people to respond to the discovery survey?

    Frame it as amnesty rather than audit. People do not declare tools they think will be taken away, so the response rate depends on whether the message is “we want to sanction what works” or “we are looking for policy breaches”. The first finds shadow AI; the second buries it deeper.

    What does a good first month look like?

    Week one: register the systems you already know about, with owners. Week two: survey the departments most likely to have bought their own tools. Week three: review scores and triage the gaps. Week four: take a one-page position to your leadership team. The register is never finished, but it is useful long before it is complete.
