Not included

What you provide

  • • Approved public/vendor documentation and synthetic examples

How we check it

Independent AI governance/security reviewer confirms evidence citations, risk assumptions and limits.

R0-R1. R2 only for approved read-only records

How it runs

We confirm fit, define the scope and acceptance criteria, then send a written SOW and price. Work begins after approval, funding, qualified staffing and an assigned independent reviewer. Deliverables are reviewed before being shared, then accepted or corrected against the SOW.
