- How is this different from your half-day assessment?
- The half-day "AI Inside Your Walls" assessment focuses on shadow AI exposure and a quick fit report. This one looks at the whole organization: where to start, how to govern and secure it, how to train people, and how to measure results — the full plan before a deployment, not just the exposure snapshot.
- Do we have to deploy anything with you afterward?
- No. The six deliverables stand on their own and are yours to keep. Many organizations use the assessment to decide they're not ready yet, or to take the plan to their own IT team. That's a fair outcome, and we price the assessment to be worth it on its own.
- What does "sovereign" mean here?
- Any AI we recommend or build runs on hardware you own, inside your network, using open-weight models. Your data never travels to a vendor's cloud. You hold the access controls and the logs, and the system remains yours if our relationship ever ends.
- Is this going to recommend replacing our staff?
- No, and we won't pretend your team won't worry about it. The Value Map targets repetitive document and data work, not people. What you do with the returned hours — capacity, training, schedule — is a leadership decision, and the Training Plan prepares all three levels of your organization to handle that conversation honestly.
- Do you need access to our sensitive data to run it?
- No. The assessment reviews tools, policies, workflows, and data paths — not your actual files. No client production data is used in any demonstration. Worked examples use synthetic or pre-published data only.
- We're in a regulated industry. Does that change things?
- The Security Review flags the frameworks that apply to you — HIPAA, GLBA, FERPA, CMMC, ISO, and others — and shapes the recommendations around them. We are not compliance counsel and never claim a deployment makes you compliant. Case-specific questions get routed to your counsel and our Compliance and Security Advisor.
