AI GovLab

An experiment in using AI to assist with synthesizing complex policy research. The question: can AI help researchers identify patterns across hundreds of documents without losing the nuance that makes findings useful?

GovLab platform overview
Context

GovLab was an early-stage AI-driven GRC platform exploring how cybersecurity maturity, compliance workflows, and risk management can operate as a connected system, not fragmented modules.

Instead of layering AI on top of compliance, the goal was to embed AI inside operational workflows while maintaining human decision authority. I worked closely with two developers to design and refine the product experience and internal logic.

The Challenge

Compliance tools often digitize paperwork without structuring relationships, separate maturity tracking from assessments and risks, and add AI superficially without workflow integration.

GovLab aimed to explore a more cohesive model: Maturity → Assessment → Controls → Evidence → Risk → Audit Readiness.

Human–AI Interaction Design

AI was integrated in document workflows through automated summarization, context-aware overviews, and structured tagging support.

My focus was defining how AI suggestions appear and how humans validate them.

System Relationship Refinement

Together with the developers, I helped refine how assessments link to evidence, controls relate to frameworks, risks connect to mitigation strategies, and uploaded documents become structured assets.

Experience & Information Architecture

I designed the full user experience and structured how users navigate between Dashboard, Document management, Assessments, Risk registry, and Framework support. I worked on filtering logic, visibility states, and how maturity indicators and automation progress are displayed.

Dashboard & Maturity Logic

I designed the dashboard experience including radar charts for cybersecurity maturity, current vs next level vs goal progression, compliance-as-code automation tracking, and audit timeline visibility. The dashboard communicates system health, not just data.
