AI consulting with governance built in

Make AI work in your company.Safely, and without a big project.

We help small and mid-size European companies find where AI really pays off, set simple rules for it and stay on the right side of the EU AI Act.

  • Know which AI ideas are worth doing first
  • Give your team clear rules for AI tools
  • Know what the EU AI Act means for you

Led by AI architect, certified in ISO/IEC 42001 · EU data only

Sound familiar?

Your team already uses AI

ChatGPT, Copilot, meeting notes, AI inside your tools. Nobody agreed which tools are fine and which data may go in.

Too many ideas, no clear first step

Everyone has a use case. Nobody knows which one is worth the time, what it needs, or what could go wrong.

The EU AI Act is coming at you

Customers and partners start asking how you manage AI. You are not sure what applies to you, or who should own it.

Cortera gives you a clear answer and a short, practical plan. Then helps you put it in place.

How we work with you

Three steps. Start with the first one.

Each step is a fixed package with a clear result. You decide after each one whether to go further.

Readiness stage

Emerging

Limited confidence

Northstar Labs has clear business intent and willing teams, but governance and data readiness are the limiting factors.

  • AI is already used daily across support, sales, and marketing without an approved tools list.
  • Three practical opportunities can start within 30 days using systems the team already has.
  • Data readiness: Taking shape — key knowledge is scattered and unstructured, and that holds back automation.
  • The 30-day plan creates practical AI governance groundwork — ownership, rules, and a controlled first pilot — from day one.

3 adoption + 9 governance areas assessed

  • Strategy and use cases
  • Data and technology
  • People and skills
  • Ownership and accountability
  • AI policy and acceptable use
  • AI tool inventory
  • Data protection and privacy
  • Security controls
  • Human oversight
  • Vendor and third-party risk
  • Transparency to users
  • Monitoring and incidents

Cortera provides a readiness and prioritization assessment. It does not provide legal advice, certification, or a formal conformity assessment.
