Running AI governance for SEC-registered advisers and PE-backed portfolio companies.

Why Now

The pressure is no longer theoretical.

Diligence & Exams

The next DDQ on your desk will ask about AI.

DDQs and SEC exams now ask about AI. Both want evidence, not intentions: inventory, approvals, vendor diligence, audit trail.

Data Exposure

Confidential data is already moving.

Positions, LP names, and deal terms get pasted into AI tools daily, on firm and personal accounts alike.

Spend

The AI bill is growing in the dark.

Cards, subscriptions, APIs, and duplicate tools add up, and nobody owns the number.

All three risks trace to the same gap: an AI policy with no system behind it.

Pick any vendor in your stack. Clarier returns a graded report on data training, retention, breach history, and subprocessor exposure,most teams find something new in the first five minutes.

Grades reflect your standards. Set your own gating criteria (e.g. zero retention as a hard requirement) and scoring follows.

The Internal Case

Four sign-offs. One answer for each.

GC / CCO

“What’s our exposure?”

Defensible evidence for every AI decision, which tools touch confidential data and on what terms, ready before the request arrives.

CFO

“Why is this net-new spend?”

Full visibility into AI cost and usage. The line item arrives with its own justification.

CTO

“What’s the lift on my team?”

Analyst-led deployment with data staying in your environment. A few hours of your team’s time, start to finish.

COO

“Does this slow the business down?”

Faster approvals, more AI adoption, better records. Requests that sat in inboxes for weeks get decided in minutes.

Get Started

Say yes to AI faster.

A short call, on your environment: where you stand today, and what a regulator would see if they asked.
