Operational AI Assurance

Your AI went live. Who's checking it now?

Most consultancies leave once deployment is done. CLEARANCE is the post-deployment check they don't provide: point-in-time diagnostic evidence you can hand to your board, your insurer, or a regulator.

Real finding

"No named accountable individual for the AI decision system." Mapped to SM&CR Senior Managers Regime, FCA Principle 3.

Same input. Same output. Every time.

Ask a general AI chat tool the same governance question twice and you can get two different answers. Different wording. Different confidence. Sometimes a different conclusion. That's fine for a quick first impression. It's not fine for something you hand to a regulator. CLEARANCE checks your answers against a fixed set of rules, not a model writing fresh text each time. Try it below. Same input, run twice on each side.

A general AI chat tool
It's worth checking whether there's a clear owner for AI-related decisions in your business. That could be a governance gap worth looking into.
Run 1 of 1Wording shifts each run

Same question, asked three different ways by a general AI chat tool. All three sound plausible. None names the rule behind it, none is reproducible, and none would survive a regulator asking "show me how you got that." A CLEARANCE finding is a lookup against a fixed set of rules. It comes back the same, with the rule it's based on, every single time.

"Why can't I just ask ChatGPT or Claude to do this for free?"

You can ask, and you might get something useful back. But ask twice and you can get two different answers, with no way to check either one. There is nothing to show a regulator if they ask how you got that answer. CLEARANCE gives you the same answer every time, tells you exactly which rule it's based on, and hands you a report built to be checked. That is what you are paying for. Not an answer. Proof behind the answer.

This is what one finding looks like.

FS-G04 · No named SM&CR accountable individual for AI decision system

SM&CR Senior Managers Regime FCA Principle 3 DUAA 2025 UK GDPR Art 22

This becomes visible when: the FCA opens a supervision visit and asks who is accountable for AI decisions affecting clients. No named Senior Manager in a Statement of Responsibilities. The gap exists and is provable from your own governance documents. No incident required.

Required action: update the relevant Statement of Responsibilities. Name the accountable Senior Manager. Document the oversight protocol. Add AI systems to the Management Responsibilities Map.

This is not a consultant's opinion. It is a deterministic finding derived from intake signals against a fixed gap library. The same inputs produce this finding on every run. Every finding in a CLEARANCE report follows this structure: gap ID, regulatory obligation, the moment it becomes visible, and the action that closes it.

Each sector maps to the obligations that apply: UK regulatory frameworks, the EU AI Act, HIPAA, and sector-specific rules. The engine determines which gaps apply to your deployment.

Three steps from intake to evidence artefact.

Three ways to find out where your gaps are.

  CLEARANCE Traditional GRC consulting Generic AI chat tool
Time to result Minutes, same day Days to weeks of engagement Instant, but unverified
Price Fixed, shown before you pay Scoped and quoted per engagement, often five figures Free or low-cost, no accountability behind it
Consistency Same input produces the same finding, every run Varies by consultant, day, and interpretation Wording and conclusions can shift between runs
Regulatory mapping Every finding mapped to a named obligation Depends on the individual consultant's knowledge General knowledge, not verified against current obligations
Evidence trail Evidence appendix included as standard Sometimes available, often at extra cost No audit trail behind the answer
Ongoing commitment None. One engagement, one report Often structured as a retainer None, but no structured deliverable either

Before you buy.

Is this legal advice?
No. CLEARANCE is a diagnostic that identifies where your governance evidence has gaps against named obligations. It's designed to inform your own legal or compliance advice, not replace it.
How is this actually different from asking an AI chatbot the same question?
A chatbot writes a fresh answer in free text every time you ask, and that answer can change. CLEARANCE checks your answers against a fixed set of rules. The same input gives the same finding every time. See the demo above.
Will my board, insurer, or regulator actually accept this?
The report is built to be handed over unchanged: an executive summary, detailed findings mapped to named obligations, recommended actions, and an evidence appendix. That structure is what makes it something you can stand behind under scrutiny, rather than something you have to translate first.
