Question 1

How do engagements work?

Accepted Answer

Most engagements start with a review, diagnostic or assessment. Fixed-scope work runs from one to six weeks: the AI Decision Review takes one to two weeks, AI Governance & Compliance Readiness takes two to three weeks, and the AI Architecture Diagnostic takes four to six weeks.

Question 2

Who does the work?

Accepted Answer

The principal. No leveraged team, no junior staff learning on your file. What you see in the conversation is who delivers the engagement.

Question 3

In which languages do you work?

Accepted Answer

English and French, at working-professional level in both. For Quebec public bodies, deliverables are produced in French by default.

Question 4

How fast can we start?

Accepted Answer

Typically within two to three weeks of a signed statement of work. Fixed-scope engagements then run from one to six weeks depending on format.

Question 5

How is our data handled?

Accepted Answer

Access is limited to what the engagement requires, no client data ever enters public AI tools, and everything is returned or destroyed at your request when the work ends. An NDA is standard before any document changes hands.

Question 6

Do you implement what you recommend?

Accepted Answer

No. Assessment, architecture and advisory only; that independence is what makes the recommendations trustworthy. For build work, we can support your team or help you select and govern a delivery partner.

Question 7

How is pricing structured?

Accepted Answer

Fixed scope, fixed price for assessments, diagnostics and reviews; monthly for the fractional advisory seat. Exact figures are stated in the proposal, before any commitment.

Question 8

Do you work with consulting firms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Several engagement formats are available white-label to firms that need AI governance depth on a client file. Write to advisory@manseur.com.
