The brief
Reader Leader is an AI reading-tutor prototype built for Irish and British voices. Ryan’s task was to turn a broad compliance and governance landscape into a working system that could answer real team questions without overstating what was built, tested or still unresolved. The resulting framework made pre-pilot obligations, decisions, safeguards and ownership visible—and gave the team a reliable way to respond to compliance and governance FAQs.
Practical outputs
Team FAQ & governance brief
A reviewed quick-reference briefing: give a one-line answer first, then use the supporting detail if needed—without overstating an untested or unresolved control.
Pre-pilot status infographic
A clear visual snapshot separating prototype truth from mandatory gates and dependencies before any live child-data pilot.
Governance decision language
A shared status model—Built & tested, Designed, Before pilot and Unresolved—so evidence, ownership and next actions remain visible.
The framework
Four principles. Four practical assets.
Set the governance lens
Centred the framework on Child First, Purposeful AI, Meaningful Human Oversight and Responsible Data—so each decision could be assessed consistently.
Build the working register
Mapped data protection, child safety, supplier, security, hosting, content, copyright, AI and readiness considerations into an integrated, navigable Excel system.
Create a team-answering system
Converted detail into frequently asked questions and answer discipline that made it easier to communicate what was known, planned or still open.
Make readiness visible
Created a concise status view that connected prototype reality, mandatory pre-pilot gates, owners and evidence needs without making premature claims.
What it enabled
- A practical way to locate and answer governance questions as the product moved towards a pilot stage.
- Clearer shared language for discussing child safety, data, human oversight and responsible adoption.
- A transparent pre-pilot stance, in which unresolved decisions are made visible rather than disguised as complete compliance.
