The tools I build for the conversations that matter.

Generic workshop templates produce generic outputs. I design facilitation tools for specific conversations the kind where the right question, asked the right way, surfaces something a standard exercise never would. This page documents those tools. It grows as the work grows.

The Tools

Each tool is shown as an artefact with an explanation of what it was designed to do, who it was designed for, and what it produced.

AI Trust Audit Toolkit

Diagnostic Tool

What it is

A two-part facilitation toolkit combining a structured questionnaire with a facilitated group workshop. Designed to surface how people in an organisation really feel about AI not the official position, but the actual human signal underneath it.

What problem it solves

Most AI adoption processes measure readiness at the system level. This tool measures it at the human level the fears, the misunderstandings, the resistance, and the genuine needs that determine whether implementation succeeds or fails. The questionnaire captures honest individual views before group dynamics shape them. The workshop goes deeper into what the questionnaire surfaces.

Contexts it works in

Leadership & governance teams

Surfaces the gap between what leadership believes about AI readiness and what staff are actually experiencing.

End users and communities

Gives people who will be affected by AI a structured voice before decisions are made.

Research sessions

Produces documented human oversight evidence usable for EU AI Act Article 9 compliance.

What it produces

  • A written report of findings in plain language
  • A priority list of what to fix, change, or design
  • Documented compliance evidence for EU AI Act human oversight requirements

Full toolkit available at trustaudit.tools

This toolkit is one of several in development.

Workshop facilitation tools for AI governance, accessibility research, and responsible design practice are added here as they are built and tested. If you're looking for a specific kind of facilitated session and want to know what tools exist or what could be built, get in touch.

Why I Build My Own Tools

A workshop is only as good as the question it's designed to ask.

Off-the-shelf workshop canvases are built for average situations. Most situations I work in are not average a governance team that's defensive about AI risk, a community of older adults who've never been consulted about technology that affects them, end users whose real concerns have never been heard in a design process.

Building the right tool means starting from the specific conversation that needs to happen, not the exercise that's easiest to run. The AI Trust Audit toolkit took four iterations before it produced outputs that were genuinely useful rather than just interesting.

The tools on this page are the ones that survived that process. They work because they were designed to work not because they were convenient.

The best workshop tool is one the participants forget they're using.
