Risks and decisions help you maintain governance across your AI program. Log risks so they can be monitored and mitigated. Record decisions so your team has a clear audit trail of what was decided, when, and why.

Risks

What risks track

A risk is anything that could negatively affect a project’s success. Each risk captures:
  • Title — a clear name for the risk
  • Description — what could go wrong and why it matters
  • Status — the current state of the risk
  • Visibility — whether the risk is visible to your team or internal to Kowalah

Managing risks

Risks live within a project. To add one:
1
Open a project
2
Navigate to the project.
3
Go to the Risks tab
4
Click the Risks tab to see existing risks.
5
Click “New risk”
6
Describe the risk and its potential impact.
Your Kowalah partner may also create risks as they identify potential issues during delivery. You’ll see all client-visible risks in the project’s Risks tab.
Don’t wait until a risk materialises. Logging risks early gives your team time to plan mitigations and keeps everyone aligned on what could go wrong.

Decisions

What decisions track

A decision is a recorded choice that affects the project. Each decision captures:
  • Title — what was decided
  • Description — the context, reasoning, and any alternatives considered
  • Status — the current state of the decision
  • Visibility — whether visible to your team or internal to Kowalah

Why record decisions

AI programs involve many choices: which use cases to prioritize, which platform to use, how to handle data governance, when to scale. Recording these decisions:
  • Creates an audit trail for compliance and governance
  • Prevents revisiting settled questions when new team members join
  • Provides context for future decisions that build on previous ones

Adding a decision

Decisions also live within a project:
1
Open a project
2
Navigate to the project.
3
Go to the Decisions tab
4
Click the Decisions tab.
5
Click “New decision”
6
Record what was decided and the reasoning behind it.

Visibility

Both risks and decisions have a visibility flag. Some may be internal to the Kowalah team (for example, delivery-specific risks), while others are shared with your team. You’ll see all items marked as client-visible.

Projects
