What You Get
A 2-page findings memo
Documenting your AI governance gaps, risk exposure, and recommended next steps. Written in plain language for executive decision-makers — not a slide deck, not a framework dump. A clear, honest assessment you can act on immediately.
The Process
Diagnostic Session
A 90-minute structured conversation covering your current AI usage, data handling practices, vendor relationships, and organizational risk posture.
Analysis
I review your responses against established governance frameworks, identify gaps, and assess your risk exposure across policy, access, data, and vendor dimensions.
Findings Memo
You receive a 2-page memo summarizing your governance gaps, risk exposure level, and a prioritized set of recommended next steps — delivered within one week of the diagnostic session.
Who It's For
CEOs and owners of $1M–$20M businesses who know their team is using AI but aren't sure what the risks are, what policies they need, or where to start.
You don't need a full governance program yet. You need someone to walk through your situation, tell you where the gaps are, and give you a clear memo you can hand to your leadership team, your board, or your insurance carrier.
Methodology
The diagnostic is informed by the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, adapted for small and mid-market businesses that need practical, right-sized governance rather than enterprise-scale compliance programs.
Common Questions
What if we already have some AI policies in place?
The diagnostic meets you where you are. If you have existing policies, we evaluate them against the NIST framework and identify what's missing. Most organizations find 3-4 gaps they hadn't considered — even with policies already in place.
Do you sign an NDA?
Yes. We execute a mutual NDA before the diagnostic session. Everything discussed during the engagement is confidential.
What if we need more than a findings memo?
Many organizations use the diagnostic as a starting point and move into the 90-day AI Governance Sprint for full implementation — policy drafting, employee training, and board-ready documentation. The memo tells you exactly what you need; the Sprint builds it.
What happens on the 15-minute call?
I'll ask about your business, your team size, and your current AI usage. We'll confirm the diagnostic is the right fit for your situation. No sales pitch — if the diagnostic isn't right for you, I'll tell you.
