The challenge
“We were trying to understand what applies to the way we’re using AI in prospective markets, governance-wise,” says Mirko Cindric, CTO at Decidr. “And understand the impacts of not doing certain things - the potential future effects on the business.”
The information existed. The frameworks were public. But turning multinational requirements into a clear picture of Decidr’s specific obligations was a research project that would take weeks to run.
The diagnostic
Decidr ran the AuditPulse Verified Audit to understand what might arise: a 22-question assessment mapping the company’s actual AI usage against all four frameworks, producing a board-ready report with specific findings, regulatory citations, and a prioritised roadmap.
Minutes to complete. Report in his inbox minutes later.
Alongside the findings, the Verified Audit gave Decidr a Legal Exposure Summary that puts a figure on what each gap could cost, Board Recommendations written for a non-technical audience, and an Attestation Letter the company can share with buyers and investors as evidence of where it stands.
The result
“I think in the end I would have found it all myself, eventually,” Mirko says. “But the question is time. That would have taken weeks, if not a month or two, and required full days - if not a week or more - of effort. The cost would have been 30 to 40 times higher.”
The return on investment
Producing the same output internally - his own time, legal review, consultants - Mirko estimates at $5,000 to $7,000 and up to two months. The Verified Audit cost $1,500 and was in his inbox the same morning. A 3-5x saving on cost, a 30-40x saving on effort, and a governance roadmap that showed exactly where to focus first.
The report did not sit in a drawer.
“We used it to drive our governance, and used it to shape our future development.”
