How does the 30-day sprint kit work?

The sprint kit provides a structured 4-week implementation plan: Week 1 (Assessment), Week 2 (Priority Setting), Week 3 (Policy Development), Week 4 (Team Training). Clear deliverables and milestones for each phase.

What happens in the quarterly SME clinic?

Each quarter you get a 60-minute video consultation with our governance experts. Bring your specific challenges - we'll provide actionable recommendations tailored to SME realities (resource constraints, limited budget, competing priorities).

Can we assess more than 3 AI systems?

Small Team includes 3 advanced assessments. If you need to assess 4-10 systems, consider Mid Team. You can also purchase additional assessments separately or upgrade your tier at any time.
