Conducting Score Definition
A Conducting Score is the authoritative operational specification that coordinates people, AI agents, systems, and processes to achieve a defined outcome. Unlike a traditional project plan, a Conducting Score integrates governance, execution, quality, risk, AI oversight, and continuous assurance into a single living document. It serves as both the operational guide for delivery and the evidence framework for organisational learning and compliance.
