00 / Stance

Between the decision and the technology, a trusted third party is often missing.

Vendors propose before they understand. Technical teams are both judge and party. AI projects start without validated rights of use. We hold the pen for the project owner: we investigate, we quantify, we bring the decision to the table.

What we hear, and what we verify
What we hearWhat Clairancy verifiesOur role
“Our IT staff can access everything.”Actual rights, privileged accounts, maintenance access, clearance rules.
“The vendor says its AI is secure.”Hosting location, data reuse, telemetry, reversibility.
“Our teams spend weeks on case files.”Volumes, formats, processing times, errors and measurable gains.
“We need to replace our ERP.”Full cost of the current system, renegotiation options, costed scenarios.

02 / Approach

Five phases. Each one closes with a written decision.

No phase starts until the previous one has met its exit criterion. You can continue, adjust or stop at every milestone: it is your programme, not ours.

  1. 01|05 · W1–W3

    Diagnostic

    Inventory, interviews, measurement of time and risk.

    Exit ▸ Scope and owners approved

  2. 02|05 · W3–W5

    Framing

    Scenarios, budget, acceptance criteria, governance.

    Exit ▸ Formal decision and budget for what follows

  3. 03|05 · W4–W8

    Foundation

    Rights, exchanges, logs, backups, contracts.

    Exit ▸ No critical gap left open

  4. 04|05 · W6–W10

    Pilot

    Reference corpus, quality measurement, segregation tests.

    Exit ▸ Thresholds met on comparable cases

  5. 05|05 · W11–W16

    Acceptance and decision

    Security, quality and recovery tests; training.

    Decision ▸ Continue, adjust or stop

Laboratory

We built before we advised.

Before Clairancy, our team designed and ran twenty-two AI and data products. We sell none of them to our advisory clients. That experience is how we read an architecture, challenge a quote and test a vendor’s promise.
