Build a Foundation of Verified Authority Before You Automate or Deploy AI.

Assumed Authority

Approvals by habit, conflicting roles, and signatures without proof-of-authority create hidden exposure, margin leakage, and audit risk.

Models act on what’s written

AI and automation won’t infer intent. Without a verified authority layer, systems can execute unsafe or invalid actions.

Deepfake & Fraud

Attackers don’t need to hack your tech — they exploit assumed authority. PoA checks and finance gates stop it.

Identity • Ownership • Authority Map

Cross‑entity, cross‑system mapping of who can do what — legally, digitally, and operationally.

Fraud • Deepfake • AI Exposure

Quantified risk with concrete examples, plus where models and workflows can fail.

12‑Week Remediation Roadmap

Prioritized fixes, owners, and sequence to harden authority and enable AI safely.

“Digital Authority revealed risks we didn’t know existed — and fixed governance issues we’d been avoiding for years.”

— COO, Mid‑Market Manufacturing

“Our AI initiative stalled without clear authority. This work gave us the foundation we needed to move forward.”

— CIO, Professional Services Firm

“The Baseline is worth the investment for the clarity alone.”
