# PALO Framework

> PALO means Principled AI Lifecycle Orchestration. Created and maintained by Fabrizio Degni, it connects AI governance decisions with risk and impact assessment, controls, indicators and reviewable evidence.

PALO supports governance and educational assessment; it does not certify compliance. PALO-AI is a developer preview, with production limits documented in its capability and readiness pages. Worked examples use synthetic data unless explicitly stated otherwise.

This is a curated index of public resources. Canonical pages remain authoritative. This file grants no permissions and does not change crawler access.

## Start

- [PALO Framework](https://paloframework.org/): Framework definition, authorship and practical entry points.

## Tools and worked examples

- [AI governance assessment path](https://paloframework.org/PALO_AssessmentPath.html): Connect context, risk, impact, controls, indicators and a local evidence bundle.
- [Fundamental rights impact assessment](https://paloframework.org/PALO_FRIA.html): FRIA tool, scope explanation and a downloadable fictional example.
- [AI governance KPI and KRI generator](https://paloframework.org/PALO_KPIGenerator.html): Select indicators and export a starting register; calibrate thresholds before use.
- [AI risk screening](https://paloframework.org/PALO_RiskTiering.html): Preliminary use-case screening with explicit limitations.
- [KPI and KRI worked examples](https://paloframework.org/docs/ai-governance-kpi-kri-examples.html): Formulas, denominators, accountable owners and a worked downloadable CSV.
- [AI governance evidence example](https://paloframework.org/docs/ai-governance-evidence-worked-example.html): A fictional invoice-agent case linking authority, expected effects and review conditions.

## Data and methodology

- [Governance datasets and registers](https://paloframework.org/PALO_DataCatalog.html): JSON downloads, versions, licenses, provenance and limits of the indicator register and security crosswalk.
- [OWASP GenAI crosswalk](https://paloframework.org/PALO_OWASPGenAI2026.html): Independent PALO design-fit mapping; not OWASP endorsement or compliance certification.

## Agentic governance

- [PALO-AM methodology](https://paloframework.org/PALO_AgenticGovernance.html): Delegated authority, oversight and evidence for agent actions.
- [PALO-AI developer preview](https://paloframework.org/PALO_AIGovernance.html): Runtime contracts and integration routes; preserve the developer-preview boundary.
- [n8n governance guide](https://paloframework.org/docs/palo-ai-n8n-governance-control-plane.html): Visual integration patterns and the governed action path.
- [PALO MCP services](https://paloframework.org/packages/palo-mcp-server/README.html): Reference service contracts, local validation and production limitations.

## Authority and limits

- [Production readiness](https://paloframework.org/PALO_AIProductionReadiness.html): Evidence required before production use and unresolved limitations.
- [Publications and evidence ledger](https://paloframework.org/PALO_Recognition.html): Preferred citation and the distinction between author-led work, public proposals and independent references.

## Optional

- [Selected resource text](https://paloframework.org/llms-full.txt): Text snapshot of the resources above.
- [Documentation Library](https://paloframework.org/PALO_DocumentationLibrary.html): Browse the wider documentation.
