FAQ
Do I need deep technical knowledge?
No—frameworks are built for cross-functional leaders. We provide optional deep dives if you partner closely with ML teams.
Will this satisfy regulatory requirements?
It helps you operationalize common frameworks (NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act drafts, ISO/IEC standards) but you should still work with counsel for jurisdiction-specific obligations.
