The Black Door AI Audit.

Two to three weeks. Fixed fee. A risk-adjusted roadmap your leadership and counsel can approve. A complete, self-contained engagement; the roadmap and every deliverable are yours to keep.

What's Included

Everything you need to make a confident decision.

The Audit is not a discovery call. It is a structured, documented engagement that produces a deliverable your board, your auditors, and your counsel can read.

Stakeholder interviews

3 to 5 interviews with leadership, IT, compliance, and operations.

End-user interviews

5 to 10 interviews across the teams who would actually use AI.

Operations Canvas

Your current tech stack, workflows, and data flows, mapped.

Opportunity Matrix

AI use cases scored for impact, effort, risk, and compliance fit.

Findings Deck

Five-slide executive summary with roadmap, ROI, and next steps.

Risk-adjusted ROI

What success looks like, quantified. Counsel-ready framing.

Fixed fee, no surprises

Priced before kickoff. No hourly billing and no scope-creep upcharges.

Editable deliverables

Delivered in PDF and editable formats for your internal use.

Process

How the Audit runs.

Two to three weeks from kickoff to delivery. Four focused phases.

1

Kickoff

Scoping call. Stakeholder list. Interview schedule. Data requests.

Stakeholder and end-user interviews. Ops Canvas mapping begins.

Pricing

Fixed fee. Scoped to your engagement.

Every Audit is fixed-fee before kickoff. The number you pay reflects the depth required to document your regulatory posture. Non-regulated engagements are lighter. HIPAA, SOC 2, NYDFS, and comparable regimes include additional control-mapping and evidence framing suited to regulator or auditor review. In every case, the fee is fixed before kickoff: no hourly billing, no surprises.

Standard Scope

Non-regulated or lightly regulated

Fixed fee. Two to three weeks. Full deliverable package, yours to keep. Quoted by scope before kickoff.

Regulated Scope

HIPAA, SOC 2, NYDFS

Includes additional compliance-posture documentation, control-mapping, and evidence framing suited to regulator or auditor review. Quoted by regulatory depth before kickoff.

FAQ

Common questions.

What do I walk away with?
A prioritized, risk-adjusted AI roadmap your counsel can sign off on. Five-slide Findings Deck, Operations Canvas, Opportunity Matrix, and ROI modeling. PDF and editable formats.
Do I have to engage you for follow-on work?
No. The Audit is a complete, self-contained engagement. You own all deliverables. If you choose to continue into Phase 2, that engagement is scoped and priced on its own. If not, you still have the roadmap.
How long does it take?
Two to three weeks from kickoff to delivery. Timelines depend on your internal availability for interviews.
What if our environment is unusual (complex regulation, legacy stack, multiple subsidiaries)?
Complex environments typically land at the upper end of the regulated tier. On rare occasions we quote custom scope. Either way, pricing is fixed before kickoff. No hourly surprises.
What happens after delivery?
You decide. Engage The Vault (platform), The Exchange (integration), The Board (advisory), any combination, or none. The roadmap is yours either way.
