What if I don't continue with 9AI after the audit?

The audit is a standalone product. You keep the SOP, roadmap, mockups, and leadership deck. Take it to any vendor or your in-house team with zero obligation.

How is the 9AI audit different from McKinsey or Deloitte AI strategy?

Consultants ship slides. 9AI ships a working blueprint built by an engineer who walked your floor mockups, architecture, and a severity-ranked problem register at a fraction of the price.

Who is the Forward Deployed Engineer? Will I get a junior?

Every Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is hand-picked and trained on 9AI’s audit pattern, your industry terminology, and connection-building skills before entering your office. They are not interns.

What about data confidentiality and security?

NDA is signed before week zero and 9AI runs ISO 27001-certified processes. All audit data lives in 9OS, our secured internal knowledge platform, shared only with the named team on your account. Employees are notified before the FDE joins.
