AI Knowledge Graph Governance Roadmap
Create a cross-functional process to keep entities accurate for answer engines and copilots.
Your knowledge graph becomes the single source of truth answer engines rely on.
Updated 9/21/2025
Establish ownership
Identify stewards for people, product, policy, and location entities. Each steward owns approvals when data changes upstream.
- Document systems of record and escalation paths.
- Define SLAs for critical updates (pricing, support policies, outages).
- Automate notifications into the channels teams already use.
Map the lifecycle
- Capture – ingest structured data from CRM, PIM, support tools.
- Enrich – add relationships, synonyms, and citations.
- Publish – push to Answer Blocks, llms.txt, and documentation.
- Monitor – detect drift, conflicts, and stale properties.
Visualize the lifecycle with swimlanes so stakeholders know when to engage.
Automate guardrails
Use Zaeo’s governance automations to:
- Block deployments when required properties are missing citations.
- Trigger revalidation workflows when upstream data changes.
- Emit audit trails for compliance reviews.
Report on trust signals
Track the percentage of entities with verified sources, freshness, and schema coverage. Pair the metrics with qualitative notes from hallucination reviews.
Governance is not a quarterly project. Treat it like security: continuous, automated, and visible to leadership.
