OECD AI Incidents Want a Thread Not a Tab
Taxonomies are clean; inboxes are not. Extract actions, build evidence scaffolds, and brief executives from the same forwards risk teams already send.
OECD wants comparable incident fields. Your first signal is a forward
The OECD published a common reporting framework direction for AI incidents aimed at comparable data across sectors: OECD AI incidents framework. The dashboard entry summarizes the initiative for policy readers: [OECD.AI policy dashboard](https://oecd.ai/en/dashboards/policy-initiatives/common-reporting-framework-of-ai-incidents-8118).
NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework supplies control-language many American teams pair with reviews: NIST AI RMF. The EU AI Act portal explains how serious incident expectations sit inside the wider compliance timeline: EU AI Act portal.
The gap between taxonomy and Tuesday
Frameworks want clean fields. Operations discover problems through customer mail, internal forwards, and vendor messages that are messy, partial, and emotionally loaded.
Translate inbox reality to review-ready language
Extract Action Items separates immediate containment steps from follow-ups. Email extract.action.items@via.email.
Generate Compliance Checklist builds a structured checklist from the obligations language you provide. Email generate.compliance.checklist@via.email.
Build Compliance Evidence turns controls into artifact prompts for your owners. Email build.compliance.evidence@via.email.
Assess AI Risk Exposure frames governance gaps from the narrative you supply. Email assess.ai.risk.exposure@via.email.
Distill to Three gives legal and comms a tight brief before anything is treated as final. Email distill.to.three@via.email.
via.email does not access your ticketing system. It does not send disclosures for you.

Severity rubrics sound boring until legal joins the thread
The hardest part of an AI incident review is not the first hour. It is the moment someone asks whether the event is reportable, repeatable, or merely embarrassing.
Framework language from OECD and NIST helps teams align on vocabulary, but alignment still requires human decisions about scope, affected populations, and containment.
Use Distill to Three to force a neutral executive summary before legal edits adjectives. Use Extract Action Items so engineering does not quietly fix the symptom while comms is still debating the noun.
What via.email will not do for you
It will not file government notices. It will not post to status pages. It will not access customer accounts. Those boundaries are the point: keep sensitive coordination inside your controlled channels, and use agents to reduce rewrite cycles—not to bypass them.
