IAIL Assurance
What are you already carrying?
Assurance is the core product. It independently assesses the AI liability your enterprise has already inherited from existing vendor contracts. Every finding traces to a specific document, clause, or absence of a clause. Not to market reputation. Not to professional opinion.
Timeline
Two weeks (single vendor)
Scope
Nine dimensions, seven Stop Conditions
Output
Seven documents including Board Report
Detail
How Assurance works
Assessed before dimensional scoring begins. Each is binary. Any Hard Stop triggers immediate board notification regardless of dimension scores. A Stop Condition means the relationship is structurally ungovernable in its current state. Most require renegotiation, not replacement.
- S1 Undisclosed Training Data Use
- S2 No Deletion Clause
- S3 Unlimited Subprocessor Rights
- S4 Unlawful Personal Data in AI
- S5 Blanket AI Liability Exclusion
- S6 No Audit Rights Over AI Outputs
- S7 Agentic AI With No Scope Limitation
S5 is the structural default of the vendor contract market. Finding it does not indicate bad faith. It means the contract needs renegotiation.

Assurance findings are the baseline for IAIL Monitor. Monitor watches whether the conditions under which the assessment was produced remain current. Assurance findings also inform IAIL Exit when vendor relationships are terminated — the assessed position determines what the enterprise needs to verify at termination.
