A practical framework for SMBs ready to adopt AI responsibly — without the enterprise price tag or the enterprise complexity.
Staff using AI tools with no oversight or policy
Vendor contracts written entirely in the vendor's favor
No clear owner when something goes wrong
Compliance exposure building quietly in the background
Most companies don't discover their AI risks until they become AI problems.
Every company that has stumbled publicly with AI made the same mistake — they moved before they had guardrails. Governance is what lets you move confidently and keep moving.
Clear ownership of every AI decision — before regulators, customers, or the press asks who's responsible.
Identify the exposure in your AI tools, vendors, and workflows before it becomes a liability.
Clients, partners, and employees need to know your AI works for them — not around them.
Protocols for selecting, deploying, monitoring, and retiring AI tools — nothing slips through.
GDPR, CCPA, industry requirements — mapped to your operations, not a generic checklist.
Plain-language policies your team will actually follow — built around your business.
AI contracts negotiated in your favor. Data rights, liability, exit terms, SLAs. You won't sign whatever you're handed.
Find where your AI models can fail or create liability — and put controls in before they do.
Specific safeguards for GenAI — data usage, output quality, content risk. General policies don't cover it.
Four quick self-service tools built from the same frameworks I use with clients. No login. Your answers stay in your browser — you choose whether to send them to me.
10 questions → a maturity score, your tier, and your three highest-priority gaps.
Check an AI vendor agreement against the eight protections that matter most.
A directional estimate of the exposure you carry by running AI without governance.
Explore the three-layer defense model and see which vendors cover which capabilities — and where the gaps are.
Never have so many companies owed so much of their future to decisions being made right now about AI.
A 45-minute working session to assess where your AI governance gaps are and what it would take to close them. No obligation. No sales pitch. Just clarity.
Tell me a little about your situation. I'll reply within 48 hours.
