Make <em>responsibility</em> clear before you scale AI.<br>
CoSAI SRF maps every obligation and control to an <em>accountable owner.</em>
</h1>
<p class="hero__lede">
It complements the regulations and standards you already follow (NIST AI RMF,
ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act) by answering the one question they leave open:
who is accountable. The SRF assigns exactly one accountable party to every
activity, across every layer of your AI stack and every operating model you
deploy. When a system acts, delegates, or uses tools, that assignment still
names one persona. Autonomy level (L0 to L5) and override tier (T1 to T5)
describe how independently it may act and how it can be stopped. They do
not move the owner.
