Somebody on your team is pasting client information into a free AI tool right now, and you probably don't know about it. Banning AI just pushes it underground. Ignoring it means your exposure grows every day. Either way, when something goes wrong, it lands on your desk.

The AI Governance Framework gives you a third path: four simple systems (the Permission Ladder, the Two-Door Test, the Signature Rule, and the Fire Drill Protocol) plus a week-by-week 30-day rollout plan. One-page rules, real scripts, and decision checks anyone on your team can run in five seconds. No compliance department required.

Montalvo Corp builds AI systems for law firms, medical practices, financial advisors, trades, and churches: real businesses with real liability, not tech startups. Every framework in this guide comes from work with actual client firms, written for smart operators in plain business language.
