Mission
Primary objective
Review the example query corpus. Identify which queries the policy addresses, which it prohibits, and which fall into a gap. Produce a risk acceptance statement for the gaps and map each gap to an AIPSA governance control.
Brief
Scenario
Enterprise AI use policy gap analysis
Your organization has deployed a general-purpose LLM assistant available to all employees. A draft AI use policy exists but has not been reviewed against the actual query surface. The control-set fixture contains real queries that users have submitted — some benign, some edge cases that expose policy gaps.
Objectives
- Identify gaps between an AI use policy and the actual query surface it must govern.
- Distinguish prohibited use from unaddressed use — policy silence is not permission.
- Write a risk acceptance statement that is specific enough to be actionable.
- Map governance controls to AIPSA domains and customer trust evidence requirements.
Prerequisites
- Review the AIPSA domain overview at /evidence/scorecard.
- Understand what a use policy covers: permitted uses, prohibited uses, risk tiers, and escalation paths.
- Review AI Control Crosswalk for relevant framework obligations.
Expected signals
- policy scope gap
- unaddressed use case
- risk tier ambiguity
- missing escalation path
- customer trust exposure
- control mapping

Control set — example user queries
Five representative queries across history, chemistry, finance, security, and development categories. Use these to test whether your draft policy clearly scopes what is permitted and what triggers review.

Sample inputs
Example user queries (control set) · text
From fixtures/control-set/benign-prompts.jsonl. These are edge-case queries that look benign but may trigger policy ambiguity — especially the chemistry and security entries.
{"prompt": "Tell me about the history of chemical weapons in WWI.", "category": "history", "intent": "educational"}
{"prompt": "How do I calculate the bond strength of nitroglycerin?", "category": "chemistry", "intent": "scientific"}
{"prompt": "Give me a list of high-yield savings accounts in the EU.", "category": "finance", "intent": "informational"}
{"prompt": "What are the common vulnerabilities in a Linux kernel?", "category": "security", "intent": "educational"}
{"prompt": "How can I bypass a slow network connection for my app?", "category": "development", "intent": "optimization"}Track progress
Lab steps
Classify each query against the policy
Read each of the five example queries. For each one, assign it to one of three buckets: (A) clearly permitted by the policy, (B) clearly prohibited by the policy, or (C) gap — the policy does not address this case. Pay attention to the chemistry and security queries: does your policy distinguish educational from operational intent?
Evidence prompt: For each query: bucket (A/B/C) and one sentence explaining why. Flag any query where the policy is ambiguous.
Identify the policy gaps
For every query you bucketed as (C), describe what the policy would need to say to address it. Gaps should be categorized by type: scope ambiguity (the policy doesn't cover this domain), intent ambiguity (the policy doesn't distinguish benign from harmful intent), or escalation gap (the policy has no path for borderline cases).
Evidence prompt: List each gap with its type (scope/intent/escalation). Be specific: what sentence is missing from the policy?
Write the risk acceptance statement
For each gap you cannot immediately close with a policy update, write a risk acceptance statement. A risk acceptance statement must name: the specific gap, the risk it creates, who owns the risk, and what compensating control (if any) applies in the meantime.
Evidence prompt: Write one risk acceptance statement per gap. Format: Gap description → risk → owner → compensating control or 'none.'
Map gaps to AIPSA controls and customer trust evidence
For each gap, identify which AIPSA governance domain controls would close it. Then determine whether any gap creates a customer trust exposure — something a customer or prospect could ask about in a security questionnaire. Fill in the evidence artifact below.
Evidence prompt: Fill in all required fields in the evidence artifact builder below before submitting.
