Approximate guide in digital governance? (4,2,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rule of thumb

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'approximate guide' is the first definition.
(a rule of thumb is an approximate guide or rule)

'digital governance?' is the second definition.
(the thumb is a digit)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for rule of thumb that I've seen before include "Little Tom-ocracy's" , "digital governance?" , "broad principle?" , "Practical guide" , "Rough-and-ready practice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
