The Problem

Shadow AI Is Your Biggest Governance Risk

Ungoverned experiments reaching production. No portfolio visibility. Teams deploying AI without registration, risk assessment, or accountability. You can't govern what you can't see.

Capabilities

What Forge Does

Register Every AI Initiative

Named accountability from day one. Every AI use case — proposed, in development, or live — enters the governance system with an owner, a risk profile, and a lifecycle state.

Track Use Cases Through Their Lifecycle

From proposal through development, testing, deployment, monitoring, and retirement. Every stage transition is recorded. Every decision is evidenced.

Portfolio Visibility Across Your AI Estate

One view of every AI system in your organisation. Filter by risk tier, lifecycle stage, business unit, or compliance status. No more spreadsheets.

Lifecycle Stage Gates

Mandatory artefacts at each stage gate. A use case cannot progress from development to deployment without completing required risk assessments, DPIAs, and approvals.

Connected System

How Forge Connects

Forge is the entry point for the Citadel platform. Every governance journey starts here.

Atlas

Feeds into Atlas

Registered use cases and their relationships flow into the Atlas knowledge graph — connecting systems, risks, obligations, and controls.

Sentinel

Triggers Sentinel Tasks

Stage gates in Forge automatically create tasks and review cycles in Sentinel — approvals, attestations, and monitoring checkpoints.

Adoption

Phase 1: Inventory & Visibility

Phase 1

Forge is deployed in Phase 1 alongside Atlas. The first priority is visibility: know what AI you have, who owns it, and what state it's in. Everything else builds on this foundation.
