Agentic AI Cadence Governance: Why Enterprise Deployments Drift, and How to Prevent It

The agentic AI system your enterprise deployed is not the one it is operating today.It has drifted - quietly, through ordinary use - and the architecture documents, the board briefings, and the governance artifacts all describe a deployment that no longer exists. When something goes wrong, the question is always the same: whose name goes on the incident review?Agentic AI Cadence Governance is the operational discipline that answers it before the question gets asked. Built on a six-tier autonomy gradient and diagnostic metrics computable from production logs, the book carries the discipline through five operational domains - evaluation, incident response, procurement, organizational design, and regulatory posture. Every chapter ends with the artifact you need on Monday.The regulatory moment has arrived. The EU AI Act, GDPR Article 22, and active FTC enforcement mean operators now face simultaneous compliance obligations across multiple regimes. The operational discipline this book teaches is what holds when scrutiny arrives.Written for chief technology officers, architects, chief product officers, risk officers, and the teams accountable for agentic AI deployments day to day. A reference work that takes positions, defends them, and is written to be argued with.
