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, complete with 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, the AI Operating System by 9AI, shared only with the named team on your account. Employees are notified before the FDE joins.

What happens after the audit if we continue?

The SOP and baseline from the audit become the starting point for Embedded AI Implementation: a dedicated team configures 9OS around how your teams already work and ships to production every month, billed on outcomes. The audit fee is fully credited toward that engagement, and the deliverables stay yours either way.

Where the audit leads

The audit is layer one. There are two more.

9AI builds AI Operating System for industrial businesses. The audit tells you what to build. 9OS is what runs it, and Embedded AI Implementation is how it gets built, deployed, and adopted.

YOU ARE HERE

AI Audit

Strategy & Readiness

A Forward Deployed Engineer maps your people, processes, systems and data, then shows where AI pays for itself first.

AI Implementation

Build, Integrate, Deploy & Adopt

An embedded team turns the strategy and the operating system into production systems your teams actually use.

9OS Platform

AI Operating System Platform

The execution layer that connects people, processes, data, AI and the enterprise systems you already run.

9OS is adapted to your industry.

Every industry Operating System is the same platform, configured for how that industry actually works. The engine underneath never forks.
