Spreadsheets list things. Governance needs a record of decisions.
A spreadsheet is a sensible place to begin. Veillo becomes useful when several people must own, review, evidence, and update the organisation’s AI governance work.
The inventory is small, one person owns it, and formal review or evidence is not yet required.
Ownership, approvals, evidence, versions, and review history quickly spill into separate files and inboxes.
Keep the system, its use, its evidence, and every decision in one maintained record.
| Decision point | Veillo | Spreadsheet + drive |
|---|---|---|
| Inventory | Connected to owners, uses, evidence, and decisions | A flexible manual list |
| Accountability | Named owners and review states | Usually tracked in cells or email |
| Work products | Generated from the maintained record and versioned | Separate documents to reconcile |
| Change history | A readable record of what changed and why | Cell or file history without governance context |
| Review readiness | Evidence and decisions stay attached | Reconstruct the story across folders |
Start simple; graduate before the record fragments
Stay with a spreadsheet while it remains genuinely manageable. Move to Veillo when the cost is no longer data entry, but proving who decided what, on which evidence, and whether it was reviewed.
Make the next review easier than the first.
Start from your real systems and build the maintained record your team—or your adviser—can return to.
