AI Adoption Est.$1,999Starting
Most 50+ employee firms already have significant shadow AI use running underneath the official picture. Ignoring it creates risk, cracking down just drives it further underground, and either way the firm loses value while exposure remains.
The outcomeExisting unofficial AI use is brought into the open under the governance framework. High-value patterns are converted into approved workflows. Risk is reduced without punishing the people who were already trying to work smarter.

- A time-boxed amnesty window for disclosure
- Clear, no-penalty rules for what gets disclosed

- Migration of the highest-value patterns into approved, governed workflows
- Updated guidance so future use stays inside the framework
