About us
AI governance that actually gets used.
We build practical AI governance resources for small teams and startups — the ones without a dedicated compliance officer, legal team, or six-figure consulting budget.
Our mission
Small teams are adopting AI fast — but governance frameworks are written for enterprises with dedicated compliance functions. We exist to close that gap.
Every template, checklist, and guide on this site is designed to be picked up and used in under 30 minutes. No consulting engagement required. No jargon-heavy frameworks. Just the practical controls your team needs to use AI responsibly.
What we believe
Practical over perfect
A one-page policy that gets used beats a 50-page document no one reads. We focus on what works at small-team scale.
Free and accessible
AI governance shouldn't require a large compliance budget. Our guides, interactive tools and the templates published in articles are free to use and adapt; the downloadable Starter and Team kits are paid.
Opinionated and specific
We don't give generic frameworks — we give you the exact checklist or policy baseline to copy and run with today.
Built for lean teams
No dedicated compliance officer? No problem. Our resources assume you're wearing multiple hats.
What we cover

- AI policy templates

Governance & Regulation Desk
Covers AI laws, regulator orders and court rulings, and what each one means for a team of ten. Posts start from the statute or the order itself, with every fact traced to a row in a source log.

Templates & Workflows Desk
Builds the copy-paste side of the site: policy templates, registers, checklists and vendor comparisons. Each template says which requirement every field answers, and is written to be used the same day.
- Fields mapped to the clause they answer
- Vendor terms read on the vendor's own pages
- Dated checks on each post

Source and citation check
The last check before a post goes live: each number, date, case name and quotation is matched to its row in the source log and to the passage on the source page.
Editorial policy: Every article on AI Policy Desk is built from primary documents and a source log that ties each fact to a quoted passage. Content is updated when regulatory guidance changes. Paid placements are listed on our Advertise page; links in sponsored content are labeled.
What teams are saying
“We're a 6-person SaaS team and had zero AI policy in place. Used this on a Friday afternoon and sent it to the team by 5pm. Genuinely impressed by how usable it is straight out of the box.”
— Rachel T.
“Solid, no-nonsense template. I was half-expecting the usual compliance-speak but this is written for actual humans. Took me maybe 45 minutes to adapt it for our context. Highly recommend.”
— Marcus D.
“We had an AI incident last quarter — a team member used ChatGPT to summarise client data without thinking. The incident response plan in this kit would have given us a clear process to follow. Worth every cent.”
— Jordan F.
“Ran the risk assessment with our leadership team last week. It surfaced three things we hadn't considered. The structure made it easy to facilitate — no facilitator experience needed.”
— Lena M.
