SERVICE · TRUST™ COMMERCIAL ASSURANCE
The Commercial Assurance Pack
Unblock sales deals, satisfy auditors, and scale your AI operations with a board-ready governance stack.
Designed for Scaling organisations moving from ad-hoc pilots to production systems, where risk is no longer theoretical.
Best for: SCALING
Timeline: 4 Weeks + Oversight
Focus: Commercial Assurance
Confidential and no obligation. We’ll confirm fit and the right starting point
Is this the right starting point?
This service is for organisations hitting the "Governance Wall"—where the excitement of pilots meets the reality of procurement, legal, and risk.
You might recognise this:
Stalled Deals: Your sales team is stuck because they can't answer a prospect's AI security or due diligence questionnaire.
Liability Fear: The Board is asking, "Who is responsible if this model creates toxic output?" and you don't have a clear answer.
Compliance Gap: You need a "Compliance Stack" to scale, but you aren't ready to hire a full-time Chief Risk or Compliance Officer.
Ad-hoc Chaos: You have pilots running, but no central view of what data they use or what risks they carry.
You want to get to:
Unblocked revenue: The ability to answer ‘How is this governed?’ with documented evidence that satisfies procurement and assurance teams.
Defensible Decisions: An auditable trail of human decision-making for high-stakes outcomes.
Speed with Guardrails: Teams deploy faster because the "Green Lines" (approved uses) and "Red Lines" (banned uses) are clearly defined.
What you’ll walk away with
Commercial Assurance Pack
A board-ready "Evidence Shield" (DPIA summaries, Model Cards, Vendor Assessments) ready for external scrutiny.
Live AI Risk Register
A populated, scored view of your specific AI risks and the controls installed to manage them.
Operational Oversight Engine
Clear roles for Sponsors and Human-in-the-Loop owners, backed by a configured Decision Log.
"AI Driver’s Licence"
Short enablement and completion log for key staff, showing they’ve been trained on when to automate vs when to review."
Day-45 Oversight Review
A guided checkpoint to review the first month of governance performance.
How it works
1
Diagnostic (Pre-Work)
We identify where your risks sit before we build.
2
The Build (Weeks 1–2)
We construct the controls and train your people.
Risk Calibration: We define your "Red Lines" (banned uses) and approved patterns.
Artefact Construction: We build your Decision Logs, Model Cards, and Policy templates.
Enablement Clinic: We train key staff and issue the "AI Driver’s Licence."
3
Embedding (Weeks 3–4)
We stress-test the system to ensure it works in reality.
Pilot Retrofitting: We apply new controls to existing pilots to make them compliant.
Escalation Testing: We simulate an incident (e.g., toxic output) to test your team’s response path.
Metric Instrumentation: Setting up the dashboard for Speed, Quality, Cost, and Risk.
4
Post-Work Assurance
We don't just leave you with a document.
Day-45 Review: A scheduled checkpoint to audit governance performance.
Final Evidence Pack: Indexed, searchable, and ready for due diligence.
Entry Gates This is a rigorous assurance programme. It is best suited for:
Active or Planned Pilots: You must have actual use cases to govern (moving from ad-hoc to production).
Commercial Pressure: You have a clear need to demonstrate governance to external parties (clients, auditors, or the Board).
Executive Sponsor: A leader willing to own the "Risk Register" and enforce the controls.
