What You're Getting

A governance-grade
diagnostic. Not a checklist
you'll forget tomorrow.

Most AI tool evaluations stop at "does it work." The Alcoden Self Assessment asks the questions that determine whether the tool is safe, governed, and defensible inside your operation — the same criteria that surface critical findings in a full audit.

01
Tool Identity & OwnershipExact name, version, vendor, and named internal owner — establishing who is accountable for this tool's behavior.
02
Data Access & CategoriesWhat data the tool can reach, what categories are involved, and whether boundaries have been explicitly defined.
03
Cost Visibility & MonitoringWhether API costs, usage limits, and spend are actively tracked — or accumulating undetected.
04
Policy AlignmentWhether the tool's use is covered by any existing AI use policy or operating under informal assumptions.
05
Fallback & ContinuityWhat happens to dependent workflows if this tool goes down, changes behavior, or is discontinued.
06
Last Review & Change LogWhen this tool was last deliberately evaluated and whether changes to its configuration are documented.
AIGOV Scoring Framework — Score Bands
High Strength ≥ 4.0
Moderate 3.0 – 3.9
Weak 2.0 – 2.9
Critical < 2.0

The Self Assessment produces a preliminary score using the same Y / N / ? methodology as the full Alcoden audit. Y = full points. N = zero. ? = half. Your score tells you where this tool stands — and what it means for your broader operation.

The AIGOV Framework

Every question in this assessment maps directly to one of Alcoden's 11 audit dimensions — the same dimensions scored in a full AI Operations Clarity Audit. Your results are not isolated. They are your entry point into a complete governance picture.

Who This Is For

Built for anyone responsible
for AI in their organization.

If you have AI tools running and no formal governance around them, this assessment is your starting point.

Operations

Operations & Process Leads

You've adopted AI tools to improve workflows but governance documentation hasn't kept pace. This assessment gives you a structured record and surfaces the gaps before they become incidents.

Technology

IT Leads & Fractional CTOs

You're responsible for the tools but not always in control of how they're governed. This assessment gives you the language and structure to bring accountability to every AI deployment you oversee.

Leadership

Founders & Executive Teams

Your team is running AI. You need to know what's exposed. This assessment takes under 30 minutes and gives you a governance baseline you can actually defend to a board, auditor, or regulator.

What Comes Next

One tool assessed is a start.
A governed operation is the standard.

The Self Assessment tells you where one tool stands. Alcoden's paid products take that further — across every tool, every workflow, every vendor, every dimension.
