Where AI could help your team
[ENTER + 1]
Construction. Help a project manager find the latest approved drawing or specification and link back to the source so they can verify it.
[ENTER + 2]
Legal. Help staff organize approved documents or draft an internal summary for human review, with access limited to the people who should see those files.
Who it’s for
Leadership teams who want to embrace AI responsibly, businesses handling confidential client or regulated data, and organizations that need to show clients or auditors they have AI under control.
Why CTRL Tier
AI governance works best when it’s connected to your identity, security and data protection, which we already manage. We turn policy into real technical controls, not just a document.
AI readiness, with governance from the start
Before choosing AI tools, assess the workflows you want to improve, the data they use and who has permission to access it. We review your information, access and security, then provide findings and a practical roadmap, with a clear decision before any implementation begins.
01 — Assess your readiness
We work with your team to identify useful AI applications and tasks best kept under human control. We assess data organization, permissions, security, current AI use, staff needs and vendor requirements. Deliverables can include a report, prioritized opportunities, readiness gaps and a roadmap.
02 — Prepare and prototype
Where the assessment supports it, we help organize information, define access, select approved tools and prototype a focused workflow. Microsoft 365 Copilot or other suitable tools can be evaluated against your needs, licensing, data handling, access controls and cost. The prototype gives your team something to test before a broader rollout; a migration or new platform is not assumed.
03 — Run a measured pilot
Start with an approved workflow and appropriate sample information. Define success criteria before the pilot, require human review and check source references where the task calls for them. Compare accuracy, time to a reviewed result, correction effort and staff usability against the existing process. Use the findings to decide whether to refine, expand or stop.
A clear result at each step
Depending on the agreed scope, you receive readiness findings, an access and data plan, a tool recommendation, a working prototype, pilot results and practical usage guidelines. Training and rollout planning help your people use the approach consistently. No specific time saving or accuracy result is promised in advance.
[Enter] [Control] [Shift]
Start with an assessment
Start with one workflow. An AI readiness assessment helps you decide whether it’s worth testing and what needs to be in place before a pilot. Assessment, prototype, licensing and implementation costs are confirmed separately in writing. Ongoing governance and advisory support can be included in a scoped Shift engagement. You can approve, adjust or stop before moving to the next phase.
