Practical documents from The Verification Economy and the Safe AI SME Series, built for the founder or ops lead who doesn't have a legal team, a FinOps team, or a governance office standing between them and the next AI decision. Start with the quiz, learn the model, then put it to work.

Take the Quiz →Four shifts every SME leader needs to make, and a nine-point readiness checklist with a simple way to score yourself. Tick it off, then take the quiz to see which stage you are really at.
