Choose AI Governance Rule Watch™ if…
You're a smaller company that wants a clear answer when a client, insurer, or partner asks how you handle AI, without a five-figure price tag.
Everything you need in one place
When a client, insurer, or auditor asks how your business handles AI, you don't have to dig through email. You open your account and show them.
Governance Score
A quick read on where your business stands: what's missing, what's overdue, and what needs your attention next.
Living AI Tool Roster
A list of every AI tool your team uses and the rules for each one. If you stop using a tool, you keep the date, the reason, and who signed off.
Document Studio
Ready-to-adopt policies and notices, including a staff policy, client notice, vendor rider, and incident protocol. You start from a finished draft.
Check-ins and reviews
Weekly and monthly check-ins plus 3-, 6-, and 12-month Governance Reviews of your whole AI program, with reminders. When your insurer asks when you last reviewed how your business uses AI, you have the date.
Evidence Vault
A list of the records you keep, when each was last reviewed and what's due next. You never upload client files.
Diligence Ledger
A dated history of every review, decision, and policy you adopt. You can't go back and rewrite or delete completed entries and corrections keep the original history, which is why an auditor can rely on it.
One-Click AI Governance Status Report
One click produces an Auditor report and a Stakeholder report you can hand to a regulator, insurer, client, or partner the same day.
Rules watched for you
1,200+ official sources, including agencies, all 50 states, courts, and licensing boards, turned into plain-English action items.
