Meriam is new. The experience behind it isn't.
Isaiah has spent nine years implementing and operating management systems on state and federal infrastructure, energy and mining projects worth $100M to $2B+: turning regulatory obligations into plans, running risk and impact assessments, hosting audits, investigating incidents and closing out corrective actions under regulator scrutiny. For the past two years he has built, deployed, tested and governed AI systems hands-on.
That is what an AI management system needs: someone who has made management systems work in the field, and who knows how AI systems actually behave.
