Question 1

What is an AI audit?

Accepted Answer

An AI audit is a structured review of where AI is being used, proposed, or avoided in a business. It classifies each use case against operating conditions, risk, and human-judgment requirements so leaders can decide what to pursue, pause, or stop.

Question 2

Who is an AI audit for?

Accepted Answer

Established owner- and executive-led service businesses that already run real operations and are being pushed toward AI adoption by vendors, staff, or clients, and want an independent, vendor-neutral read before committing.

Question 3

How is this different from an AI strategy consultant selling implementation?

Accepted Answer

TCC does not resell software, take vendor referral fees, or bundle implementation into the audit. The engagement is designed to protect the leader's judgment, not to justify a build.

Question 4

What does the audit examine?

Accepted Answer

Current AI use, proposed use cases, shadow tools already in staff hands, data and access exposure, ownership of outputs, review and escalation paths, and the operating conditions required to run each candidate responsibly.

Question 5

Do you evaluate specific vendors or models?

Accepted Answer

We evaluate vendors and models only in the context of a specific decision and its operating requirements. We do not publish vendor rankings or endorse products in the abstract.

Question 6

What do we get at the end?

Accepted Answer

A written discernment summary that classifies each candidate use case using the Four A's, names the operating preconditions and owners, and identifies the most responsible next step for leadership to consider.

Question 7

Do you serve clients outside Charlotte, North Carolina?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TCC is based in Charlotte, North Carolina and serves established business leaders across the United States remotely.
