Most AI vendors will tell you their system is “enterprise ready” or “governed.” Very few can actually prove it under pressure.
When assessing any AI system for professional services use, I run it through five non-negotiable tests:
If the answers to these questions are vague or rely on “human review at the end,” the system is not governed — it is assisted.
Many firms believe that because a human reviews the final output, risk is contained.
This only works when the volume is low. As soon as you scale, review becomes performative. People start trusting the system more than they should.
Real governance removes the possibility of certain classes of failure before the output is ever generated.

Digital footprint clean-up for AI and search recommendations. For founders, executives and consultants whose story is scattered or out of date online. We audit how AI assistants and search engines see you, then fix it: one verified bio and headline across your website, LinkedIn and social profiles; evidence attached (press, papers, credentials); structured data, llms.txt and sitemaps so AI tools and Google connect your profiles to you; and a before-and-after report. This improves the odds. It does not guarantee rankings or AI recommendations.
