A Founder’s Wake-Up Call
When Maya pitched her AI-powered health analytics startup to a major hospital network, she thought her demo would seal the deal. Instead, the procurement team paused the conversation:
Do you have documented AI policies?
How do you manage bias and privacy?
Within days, the deal stalled. Like 60% of AI pilots, Maya’s was held up by missing documentation—not technology.
The Problem: Why Startups Stall on AI Governance
- Incomplete Documentation: 40% of enterprise buyers reject AI vendors for missing policies or SOPs.
- Slow Due Diligence: Weeks of back-and-forth on compliance details delay pilots.
- Regulatory Uncertainty: 700+ AI bills in 2025 leave teams unsure what to document.
- Resource Constraints: Seed-stage teams lack budgets for legal counsel or GRC platforms.
Maya realized she needed a fast way to prove her startup’s trustworthiness—or risk losing more deals.
Our Solution: AI Trust in <2 Hours
Step 1 – Self-Assess Your AI Posture (15–20 mins)
Maya ran CognitiveView’s AI Trust Self-Assessment, based on NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act. In 20 minutes she saw gaps in data privacy and model explainability.
Benefit: Clear, prioritized action items—no guesswork.
Step 2 – Leverage Our AI Policy Assistant (30–40 mins)
Next, Maya described her health-data use case to the AI Policy Assistant. In half an hour, she had:
- A Data Privacy & Security Policy
- An AI Fairness & Bias Policy
- A Transparency & Explainability Policy
Benefit: What took weeks with lawyers now took minutes with AI.
Step 3 – Publish Your AI Trust Center (10–15 mins)
Finally, Maya clicked “Publish” to create a shareable AI Trust Center: her governance overview, policies, and review schedule in one link. She sent it to the hospital’s procurement team.
Benefit: They approved the pilot two days later—50% faster than average.
