Procurement is approving AI tools nobody has assessed. Legal is fielding AI clauses no playbook covers. And the TPRM program was built for SaaS — not for models that change under you after signature. Clarevon governs the AI inside your vendor relationships: the questions, the risks, the contracts, and the monitoring.
One AI vendor, torn down. Written memo + executive readout. Findings in days.
If you answer yes to three or more of these, the AI in your vendor stack is running ahead of your governance — and that gap compounds quietly until an audit, an incident, or a renewal makes it loud.
Clarevon works across the four moments where AI vendor risk is created — and where it can be controlled.
AI-specific intake and due diligence — the questions a standard vendor questionnaire never asks: training rights, model provenance, data flows, subprocessor AI, incident history.
Risk tiering built for AI — distinguishing a vendor that drafts marketing copy from one that touches customer data, makes decisions about people, or sits in a regulated workflow.
MSA addenda and DPA review for the AI layer — model change notification, training-data restrictions, output accountability, audit rights, and exit terms that survive vendor pivots.
Ongoing oversight rhythms — because AI vendors ship model changes weekly, and the relationship you assessed in January is not the relationship you have in June.
Clarevon is the governance architect, not the technical validator. Where deep technical evidence is required — model security architecture, penetration results — the framework defines what evidence your security team or CISO reviews, and how it feeds the governance decision.
Four stages, built from real enterprise vendor engagements — not a consulting playbook. Every engagement, from a single-vendor Snapshot to a fractional governance retainer, runs through this framework. Governance. Accountability. Performance.
"See the real picture before trying to change it."
Entry point: the AI Vendor Risk Snapshot
"Built with your team, not handed to them."
Framework design engagements
"A framework that isn't running isn't governance."
Embedded implementation
"Governance that outlasts any single person."
Retainer or defined handoff
Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation. Most clients start with the AI Vendor Risk Snapshot — a fixed-scope, fixed-price teardown of one vendor that shows exactly what the governance gap looks like in your own stack.

Fixed scope · Written memo + readout call · Findings in days
One AI vendor in your stack, torn down: data flows, training rights, contract gaps, tiering, and the questions to ask next.
Fixed fee, scoped to vendor count & deliverables
A full diagnostic of your AI vendor governance posture — inventory, exposure mapping, and gap analysis against NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, and EU AI Act obligations.
Scoped on discovery
The full accountability architecture: risk tiering matrix, AI-specific intake questionnaire, MSA addenda, ownership model, and monitoring rhythms — built with your team.
Monthly retainer · Range on request
Senior governance leadership embedded in your vendor management operation — intake reviews, contract support, monitoring cycles, and board-ready reporting.
Audit, framework design & ramp governance
The practice Clarevon was built on: independent outsourcing audits, SLA/KPI architecture, escalation design, and vendor ramp governance for BPO relationships.
Scoped on discovery
Senior program oversight embedded in your operation — QBR facilitation, independent performance monitoring, renewal preparation, and escalation management.
Clarevon's methodology comes from a decade of governing enterprise vendor relationships from the inside — including these results from the founder's enterprise portfolio.
AI vendors don't fail loudly. They drift — new models, new data flows, new features nobody re-assessed. Clarevon builds the framework that catches it.
