AI Audits & Exploratory Sessions
Most teams are already using AI—but often without shared understanding, clear governance, or alignment with organizational values. We help small teams, creative studios, and organizations map current practices, identify risks, and design practical pathways for responsible adoption.
Why Start with Exploration?
AI adoption often happens informally—individuals using ChatGPT for drafting, designers experimenting with Midjourney, developers integrating APIs without coordination. This creates fragmented practices, hidden risks, and missed opportunities for collective learning and governance.
An exploratory audit isn't about policing or control. It's about creating shared visibility, surfacing what's working, and building frameworks that protect your team while enabling innovation. The goal is alignment—not restriction.
What an Audit Includes
We conduct remote sessions tailored to your team's size, needs, and stage of AI adoption. The format is collaborative, not bureaucratic—designed to surface insights and build practical governance together.
- Discovery conversations — We interview team members to understand current AI use, pain points, and aspirations
- Practice mapping — Document which tools are being used, for what purposes, and by whom
- Risk assessment — Identify gaps in data privacy, consent frameworks, or ethical guidelines
- Culture review — Understand who feels empowered by AI and who feels excluded or concerned
- Practical recommendations — Deliver actionable guidance: tool recommendations, governance frameworks, training priorities
- Implementation support (optional) — Help establish policies, select platforms, or train teams based on audit findings
What We Explore Together
- Current Use & Shadow Adoption
Map what AI tools are already in use—including informal or "shadow" adoption that happens outside official channels. Understanding actual practice is the foundation for good governance. - Opportunities & Use Cases
Identify where AI could genuinely help—automating repetitive work, augmenting creativity, or improving decision-making—without displacing human judgment or values. - Culture & Equity
Who has access? Who feels comfortable experimenting? Culture shapes adoption. We help surface power dynamics and design more inclusive AI practices. - Risks & Safeguards
Surface blind spots around data privacy, consent, bias, and vendor dependency. Build practical safeguards that match your team's values and risk tolerance. - Governance Frameworks
Develop lightweight policies that enable responsible experimentation—clear enough to guide decisions, flexible enough to evolve with technology. - Future Readiness
Assess whether your infrastructure, culture, and practices can adapt as AI evolves. Resilience means building systems that don't break when platforms change.
Start with Shared Clarity
Whether you're responding to emerging AI use, planning proactive governance, or navigating a specific incident, we'll help you understand your current landscape and design practical pathways forward. Sessions are remote and scaled to your team's needs.
