Advice and guidance for AI governance questions
For organisations with a bounded AI governance question — not the full Sentinel programme, but rigorous, practitioner-led advisory from Declan and Austin directly.
What consulting covers
Consulting engagements are for organisations that don't need — or aren't ready for — the full Sentinel methodology, but do need rigorous, independent input from practitioners who have delivered AI governance at scale.
🏛
Tailored board sessions on AI governance, regulatory exposure, and the questions your non-executive directors and audit committee should be asking. Delivered by Declan or Austin directly — not junior consultants.
⚖️
Expert support for organisations responding to FCA, PRA, ICO or SRA inquiries involving AI systems. Evidencing governance posture, preparing documentation, and presenting a credible position to supervisors.
🗺
Structured advisory for leadership teams developing an AI investment strategy or evaluating a specific AI deployment. Commercial modelling, risk framing, and governance design — without a full Sentinel engagement.
📋
Focused assessment of a specific AI system or governance gap — a single high-risk model, a shadow AI discovery question, or a particular regulatory classification challenge. Scoped, delivered, documented.
🎓
Half-day or full-day sessions for governance teams, risk functions, and technology leaders. EU AI Act obligations, ISO 42001 foundations, human oversight design, and AI risk quantification methodology.
🔍
Independent expert review of AI system documentation, governance frameworks, or risk assessments for legal, regulatory, or procurement purposes. Written reports and oral evidence available.
When consulting is and isn't the right starting point.
If your organisation needs a complete AI governance programme — a full inventory, regulatory assessment, financial modelling, and board delivery — Sentinel is the right starting point. Most consulting clients who come to us first end up running a Sentinel engagement within six months anyway, often at greater total cost. We will tell you this in the initial call.
Consulting is the right fit when you have a specific, bounded question — a board presentation due next month, a regulator inquiry to respond to, or a single system that needs independent review.
How it works
Tell us what you need. We'll tell you honestly whether a consulting engagement is the right fit, or whether Sentinel would serve you better. No commitment, no pitch.
We define exactly what will be delivered, by when, and at what cost. No ambiguity, no scope creep. Fixed-fee engagements wherever the deliverable can be defined upfront.
Delivered by Declan or Austin, not subcontractors. Board presentations, written reports, or workshop facilitation — all produced to the standard you'd expect from practitioners who built the Sentinel methodology.
