High-Risk AI Tools 🔥
High-Risk AI Tools
This is where leadership leans in. A table showing every tool flagged RED, with department, risk score, the specific T.E.S.T. pillar driving the risk, and current status.
Board insight: These tools represent your highest exposure. Each one requires executive-level decision — approve with controls, or block until remediated.
T.E.S.T. Breakdown
Where risk is coming from.
A stacked bar chart showing Touch, Execute, Store, and Trust scores across all tools. This reveals your organization's weakest pillar at a glance.
Example insight
“Most of our risk is coming from data storage and lack of transparency.”
Average pillar scores across all AI tools
⚠ Highest risk pillar: Store (4.1 avg)
Data storage practices are the biggest source of risk across your AI portfolio. Prioritize data flow audits and retention policy reviews.
Department-Level AI Usage
Who is using AI the most — and where risk is concentrated.
This is HUGE for executive conversations. Shows AI adoption by department with risk breakdown, so leadership knows exactly where to focus governance efforts.

Executive Narrative Box
This is what gets copied into board minutes. A text box that summarizes the entire dashboard in four sentences.
Executive Summary
AI adoption is increasing across the organization. 24 tools are currently in use across 6 departments.
17% of tools are currently high risk due to uncontrolled data storage practices and insufficient vendor transparency.
Immediate focus is required on Store and Trust pillars, where average scores indicate the highest organizational exposure.
The T.E.S.T. Framework™ is being used to standardize evaluation and reduce exposure across all departments.
Pro tip: This narrative box should be updated quarterly and included in every board presentation. It's the single paragraph that drives executive action.
Your Data Structure
What feeds Power BI.
You only need a simple table. 11 columns. That's it. This can live in Excel, Google Sheets, or a SharePoint list.
Risk logic (automated in Power BI)
Total Score = T + E + S + T
4–8 → GREEN
9–14 → YELLOW
15–20 → RED
Where this data can live:

T.E.S.T edge 🔥
What makes THIS different.
Most dashboards show
Incidents
What already happened. Reactive. After the damage.
Compliance checklists
Binary yes/no. No context. No risk scoring.
Vendor reports
Generic. One-size-fits-all. Not your risk profile.
T.E.S.T dashboard shows
Decision quality
Before incidents happen. Proactive. Preventive.
Risk-scored AI tools
Every tool scored on 4 pillars. Context-rich. Defensible.
Your risk profile
Tailored to your organization. Your departments. Your tools.
“This isn't just what we've secured.
This is what we've chosen to trust.”
Pause. Then:
“And anything in red… we shouldn't be trusting yet.”
