Pequi Intelligence delivers board-ready AI governance for software and payments companies — with a proprietary scoring framework, monthly executive briefings, and evidence-based risk documentation across every product line and market you operate in.
When AI is embedded across your product suite — from payment decisioning to scheduling algorithms to recommendation engines — governance can lag behind deployment by years. For companies operating across multiple markets and verticals, the gap creates real exposure.
AI features are embedded across product lines, acquisitions, and vendor integrations. Most organizations have inventoried less than 40% of their actual AI footprint — including models in payment processing, scheduling algorithms, and recommendation engines.
Operating across multiple jurisdictions means navigating the EU AI Act, state-level US legislation, and emerging frameworks simultaneously. Each jurisdiction has different requirements for AI transparency and accountability.
EU AI Act enforcement begins August 2026 with penalties up to €35M or 7% of global turnover. Colorado AI Act follows in June 2026. SEC examination priorities now explicitly include AI. The compliance window is narrowing.
Your platform processes payment data, personal information, and sensitive consumer records at scale. When AI touches this data — in decisioning, recommendations, or automation — governance isn't optional. It's infrastructure.
The AI Governance Advising Retainer delivers a complete governance infrastructure through three integrated pillars — scoring, reporting, and executive accountability — built to scale with your organization.
Evidence-based governance measurement across 8 domains, producing a composite 0–100 score with 5 maturity levels. Tracked monthly to show continuous improvement.
Board-ready executive memo delivered 48 hours before every monthly briefing — written for the C-suite, covering every business unit and operating jurisdiction.
A 60-minute structured session with your leadership team. Decision-first format — not a status update. Built for executives who need to act, not just be informed.
8 scored domains. 0–100 composite. 5 maturity levels. A structured framework that measures your governance posture, tracks progress over time, and gives leadership a single number to report on.
Scores represent a typical starting position for a software and payments company
The first 90 days establish your governance foundation. The remaining 9 months build maturity, deepen documentation, and drive your AGVI score toward Managed and Optimized levels.
Every deliverable is written for the people who make governance decisions — not the teams that implement them.
The AGVI gives you a single scored view of AI governance maturity across every product line and business unit — with evidence your board and investors can verify.
We map your AI posture against the EU AI Act, Colorado AI Act, SEC priorities, and emerging frameworks across every market you operate in — building the documentation trail before enforcement begins.
From vendor AI contract provisions to consumer data handling across embedded payments — we build the evidence-based governance infrastructure that protects the organization and satisfies investor scrutiny.
Multiple deadlines converge in 2026. For software and payments companies, the exposure surface spans every jurisdiction you operate in — and the consequences of non-compliance are material.
Requires risk management programs and impact assessments for high-risk AI in employment, housing, credit, and healthcare. Directly relevant to platforms with AI features that affect consumers, employees, or financial decisions.
Penalties up to €35M or 7% of global turnover. With operations across Europe, UK, and Australasia, every AI-enabled product feature serving those markets falls under this regulation.
AI is explicitly a top examination priority. For investor-backed technology companies, documented AI governance posture strengthens the narrative for boards, investors, and potential exit scenarios.
230 control objectives across governance, data, and monitoring. Directly applicable to any platform with embedded payments or financial data processing.
A fraction of a full-time hire. A fraction of the cost of the risk. A structured 12-month engagement that builds governance infrastructure with measurable progress every month.
A 30-minute discovery call to assess your AI governance posture across verticals, identify the highest-priority gaps, and determine if the engagement is a fit.
