$199 one-time
24-hour access provisioning 30-day money-back guarantee Hand-built implementation playbook
12 modules. 12 chapters per module. 144 chapters total.
12 modules, each with 12 chapters (144 chapters total), text-based, plus downloadable templates and a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access.
Even high-performing teams struggle to trace AI model inputs when audit deadlines hit.

The situation this course is for

Traditional data lineage methods don’t scale to AI-driven environments. When models pull from dynamic, distributed sources, audit teams lack tools to verify provenance, creating rework, delays, and second-order compliance concerns. The gap isn’t will, it’s methodology.

Who this is for

A technology or business professional in audit, compliance, risk, or data governance who needs to ensure AI systems are traceable, accountable, and defensible.

Who this is not for

Those seeking introductory data management training or general AI awareness without implementation depth.

What you walk away with

  • Map end-to-end data flows in AI-augmented environments
  • Build audit-ready documentation that stands up to scrutiny
  • Integrate lineage practices into existing compliance workflows
  • Reduce time spent on audit preparation by 40, 60%
  • Lead cross-functional initiatives with confidence in data provenance
