Campus AI Audit
Entry point · recurring
Student interviews, faculty workflow mapping, IT inventory, and policy analysis — a clear picture of real usage and exposure.
Higher Ed · AI Governance
Your campus is already using AI.
Who's holding the reins?
The question isn't whether to adopt AI — it's whether you can see it, govern it, and prove it's working. We move institutions from unmanaged exposure to governed, measurable adoption.
The reality on campus
AI on campus is a lot like Ozempic
Far more people are using it than will admit it — quietly, without telling anyone. Faculty, students, and staff are already running AI tools through their daily work while the institution has no line of sight. The fix isn't more spending. It's governance infrastructure: knowing what's in use, setting the guardrails, and measuring the return.

My approach
Matt Baker, founder
I come from higher-ed technology leadership, and I carry no vendor conflicts — I don't resell anyone's software, so my only incentive is your outcome. Expect resource-allocation thinking and candid feedback. If you're leaving money on the table, you'll hear it from me first.
