The Governance Track · Scope-Based Engagement

You can't govern the AI you can't see.

Once AI is woven through your business, the question stops being "should we use it?" and becomes "can we see and control it?" In two weeks I turn scattered AI activity into a documented risk picture and a practical set of next actions.

Confidential  •  Two weeks  •  Built on the CLEAR-AI™ method

The Iceberg Model — official AI tools visible above the waterline, shadow AI hidden below including personal accounts, SaaS AI features, and vendor integrations

Already deep in AI? The two-week governance scan.

The CLEAR-AI Framework

CLEAR-AI: Continuous Look for Exposure, Adoption, and Risk in AI. A repeatable system for uncovering hidden AI usage and building sustainable governance.

What CLEAR-AI delivers:

  • A complete inventory of AI tool usage across the org
  • A map of where sensitive data is exposed
  • Guardrails, policies, and ongoing monitoring that keep pace with AI change

What you see is only the tip.

You can usually see the tools you've officially approved. You rarely see personal accounts, embedded AI features, extensions, and ad-hoc workflows.

That's why CLEAR-AI exists: to turn the "unknown unknowns" into a measurable risk posture.

Turning findings into an operating routine.

The scan tells you where you stand. These are the pieces that keep it from drifting back — scoped individually once we know what the inventory actually shows.
