The Remake Framework
Remake Library
All of the models, diagnostics, methodologies, and principles that are used in Remake.
The assets are the lenses Remake reasons with, applied within the ADAPT motion’s stages — each declared as a Model, a Diagnostic, a Methodology, or a Principle. Every asset has its own page: what it is, where it was introduced, and the writing that builds on it.
AI Amnesty Methodology
The time-boxed programme that brings shadow AI under governance: a declaration window, typically 30 to 45 days, in which employees disclose all AI tool usage without fear of punishment, followed by the post-amnesty roadmap of rapid triage, governance guardrails, pilot launch, and ongoing operations. Its declarations populate the AI/ML register, and its findings are read with the AI Amnesty Questionnaire. For a Board, the no-reprisal commitment must be real and followed by visible action, otherwise disclosed usage simply retreats back into the shadows.

AI Amnesty Questionnaire Diagnostic
The structured instrument for running an AI amnesty: ten sections capturing which tools employees actually use, the use cases they serve, the data they touch, the value already created, and the risks encountered, turning unknown unknowns into a governable inventory.

AI Business Case Methodology
The integrated decision framework that crystallises across an ADAPT engagement rather than at a single stage: strategic alignment established at Align, cost and readiness evidenced at Diagnose, value shaped at Advise, and execution designed at Plan. The Investment Case is its directional form; the Transformation Plan carries its validated form.
AI CoE Simulator Diagnostic
An interactive assessment tool operationalising the AI Stages of Adoption, objectively placing each business function within adoption stages using specific criteria rather than subjective self-assessment, revealing an organisation’s multi-speed AI reality.

AI Initiative Rubric Diagnostic
A pilot evaluation tool that scores candidate initiatives across the five Well-Advised value priorities and Five Pillars capability building, recommending whether to prioritise, defer, pipeline, or develop them further.

AI Sovereignty Trilemma Model
The proposition that organisations and jurisdictions can optimise their AI posture for trust, speed or control, but not all three simultaneously, forcing deliberate strategic positioning rather than attempting to serve every market at once.
Introduced in: The AI Sovereignty Trilemma

AI Stages of Adoption AISA Model
A framework describing five stages of the AI journey, Experimenting, Adopting, Optimising, Transforming and Scaling, plotted on an investment-value graph, recognising that different functions progress simultaneously at different paces.

CoE 90-Day Sprint Methodology
The time-boxed execution method that launches an AI Centre of Excellence’s first pilot portfolio: initiatives scored and selected with the AI Initiative Rubric, run as a ninety-day sprint portfolio that balances quick wins against strategic bets, with governance mechanisms evolving alongside the work rather than ahead of it. Its purpose is to prove the CoE’s value inside a quarter.

Complete AI Adoption Framework Model Retired
An integration of three mechanisms, the Five Pillars (what capabilities), the AI Stages of Adoption (where functions stand), and Well-Advised (why to invest), providing guiding policy for systematic AI governance.

Eight Disciplines of AI Model
The taxonomy of eight AI disciplines: Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, Reinforcement Learning, Robotic Process Automation, Cognitive Computing, and Generative AI. The model names which discipline a piece of work actually calls for, so strategy stops treating AI as a single undifferentiated capability.

Five Pillars of AI Capability Diagnostic
The five capability domains of an AI capability model that cut across every level of maturity: Governance and Accountability, Technical Infrastructure, Operational Excellence, Value Realisation and Lifecycle Management, and People, Culture and Adoption. Read together, they tell a Board not whether it has AI but whether it can run it.

Maximum Fidelity Model
The evidence discipline of grading every reading a Board relies on by one of four indicator types: lagging indicators of past outcomes, leading indicators of early signals, predictive indicators of future value, and reasoned indicators that prove what must hold true. It matters because a decision is only as strong as the fidelity of the evidence beneath it, and the type tells a director exactly what quality of evidence they are looking at.

Minimum Lovable Governance MLG Principle
Governance embedded in how work happens: proportionate to risk, continuous rather than episodic, and used because it works. The operating principle through which duties like the DUAA safeguards are actually delivered.

Process Audit Diagnostic
The per-process evaluation applied one process at a time: what the work is for, how it is done today and whether it is still needed, and why it needs the technology at all, returning a verdict on the Stop, Keep, Remake scale with every reading graded by indicator type. For a Board, it means each verdict in a transformation plan traces to evidence rather than to opinion.

Redeployment Dividend Model
The strategic value released when the hours AI frees are redirected to differentiated work rather than eliminated; the headline line of any remaking’s business case. It is realised only by deliberate redeployment: token retraining programmes forfeit it, merely delaying displacement and undermining Board confidence.

Six Board Concerns Model
An interconnected lens of six concerns, Strategic Alignment, Ethical and Legal Responsibility, Financial and Operational Impact, Risk Management, Stakeholder Confidence and Safeguarding Innovation, that must be orchestrated together so AI discussion does not collapse into risk management alone.
Introduced in: Board priorities for AI governance
See also:Minimum Lovable GovernanceAlignment
Stop Keep Change Model Model
The verdict set of the Remake framework: for the work under examination the framework returns one of three verdicts, Stop, Keep, or Change, and all three are governed. A Stop verdict requires a decommission plan and verification that the stopping actually happened, a Keep verdict requires documentation sufficient to break key-person dependency, and a Change verdict proceeds through the full ADAPT motion. A remaking comprises all three, and an all-Keep outcome is a legitimate result.

Well-Advised Principle
The framework of five strategic priorities, Innovation, Customer Value, Operational Excellence, Responsible Transformation, and Revenue, used to ensure AI investments create balanced value rather than narrow cost reduction.

Well-Advised Assessment Diagnostic
The measurement instrument of the Well-Advised principle: an assessment of the value an AI investment is actually realising across the five strategic priorities, returning a balanced-value reading rather than a single ROI number.
