Fronterio vs Spreadsheets for AI Governance
Many organisations start tracking their AI tools in spreadsheets. While this works for a handful of tools, it breaks down quickly as AI use scales. Here is how Fronterio — the AI Transformation Platform, with governance built in — compares to spreadsheet-based tracking.
The Spreadsheet Approach
Spreadsheet-based AI governance typically involves a shared Excel file or Google Sheet listing AI tools, their owners, risk levels, and approval status. Teams manually update this file when new tools are adopted or existing ones change. While this is better than nothing, it introduces significant limitations: there is no audit trail (who changed what and when), no automated risk classification, no connection to actual usage data, no compliance workflows, and no way to generate reports for regulators. As the number of AI tools grows beyond 10-15, the spreadsheet becomes a liability rather than an asset.
What a Platform Provides
Fronterio automates what spreadsheets cannot. Every AI agent is registered with structured metadata (purpose, autonomy level, data access, risk classification). Changes are tracked in an immutable audit log that regulators can review. Risk classification follows EU AI Act categories automatically based on structured questionnaire responses. Approval workflows route new agents to the right stakeholders. Real-time dashboards show compliance posture across the organisation. Integration with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Anthropic Claude pulls actual usage data, no manual updates needed.
When to Switch
Hvis organisasjonen deres bruker mer enn 5 AI-verktøy, opererer i EU (der EU AI Act gjelder), må demonstrere governance overfor revisorer eller myndigheter, eller vil måle AI-adopsjon og ROI, er et regneark ikke lenger nok. Den reelle kostnaden er kaoset, ikke en hypotetisk bot: utdaterte rader ingen stoler på, dokumentasjon dere ikke kan legge frem når en revisor eller enterprise-kunde spør, og arbeidstid brent på manuelt vedlikehold. En plattform er en brøkdel av det — og den fører et register dere faktisk kan levere fra dere.
Utover inventaret: ett rangert svar
Et regneark lister hva dere har. Fronterio forteller hva dere skal gjøre videre. Over inventaret sitter Muligheter: hver anbefaling rangert med sin verdicase, sin konfidens og hvorfor nå, matet av strategilerretet, 12-måneders-veikartet, asynkrone workshoper, OKR-er og Executive Board Pack i stedet for å konkurrere med dem. Ingenting av dette er mulig i et regneark. Dataene er statiske, beslutningen dør i filen, og styret ser aldri koblingen mellom inventar og effekt.
No Spreadsheet Drills a Failover
A spreadsheet cannot tell you whether your fallback AI vendor is actually reachable right now. Fronterio's AI Vendor Resilience (Enterprise) does: a one-click drill validates that the Mistral or Aleph Alpha credentials are live, that the fallback's capabilities cover your primary, that the compliance posture is equivalent or better, and that your guardrails transfer. The result lands in an append-only drill log your auditor can inspect. The spreadsheet row that says 'Mistral: approved fallback' is a promise. A drilled resilience plan is evidence.
