Evidence-Based AI Governance
Practice 02 · SANCIAN Core Competency

Regulatory Science & Policy

SANCIAN advises federal and international leaders on science policy design — aligning emerging technologies with public interest mandates, and supporting compliance with NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, WHO ethics guidance, and adjacent standards across FDA, HHS, and global regulatory bodies.

Overview

Where AI capability meets regulatory reality.

This practice area advises federal science leaders on the policy design and regulatory infrastructure that makes AI adoption defensible — from FDA oversight of AI-enabled medical products through HHS-wide governance frameworks through international standards-body engagement.

SANCIAN's work in this domain is grounded in a specific conviction: that regulatory science is not a downstream compliance function but an upstream design constraint. Frameworks, standards, and policy language get drafted before models get built — not after.

"Regulatory science is not a downstream compliance function. It is an upstream design constraint."
Scope of Work

What SANCIAN delivers under this practice.

Every engagement is scoped, priced, and delivered against these standard deliverables. Custom scope available on request.

01

Regulatory Framework Development

Draft regulatory language, evaluation standards, and oversight mechanisms for federal agencies regulating AI-enabled products and services.

02

Science Policy Design

Policy architecture that aligns emerging technologies with public interest mandates — legislative drafting support, agency guidance development, stakeholder analysis.

03

FDA/HHS Compliance Advisory

Compliance and risk assessment support for federal agencies overseeing AI-enabled medical products, health technologies, and clinical decision-support systems.

04

International Standards Alignment

Advisory on WHO AI ethics guidance, ISO/IEC 42001, and cross-jurisdictional harmonization for federal agencies operating internationally.

05

Regulatory Impact Analysis

Quantitative and qualitative analysis of proposed regulations — cost estimation, equity impact, stakeholder mapping, phased implementation planning.

06

Standards & Technical Guidance

Development of evaluation standards for safety, efficacy, and quality of AI-enabled health technologies — aligned to federal review pipelines.

Methodology

Standards. Frameworks. Federal-grade rigor.

Each engagement is anchored in named methodologies with documented standards alignment — the artifacts required for federal review, produced by design.

Federal Regulatory Base

FDA oversight pipelines

Advisory grounded in current FDA guidance on AI-enabled medical products — SaMD frameworks, PCCP (predetermined change control), and continuous monitoring protocols.

HHS Alignment

HHS policy mandate

Consistent with HHS long-term strategic direction on AI adoption, health equity, and mission-aligned innovation.

International Standards

ISO/IEC 42001 & WHO ethics

Harmonization support for federal agencies coordinating with international counterparts — cross-jurisdictional gap analysis, standards mapping.

Framework Anchor

SANCIAN 7-Phase

The full SANCIAN™ Framework applies here — but with particular emphasis on Phase 01 Govern and Phase 04 Design, where regulatory language is drafted.
