The YC AI Audit.
A 7-day diagnostic for AI-native founders.
Where your AI posture, risk surface, and operating layer stand today — and the 30/60/90 plan to get you investment-grade before your next raise. Written by operators who run AI platforms in production.
Nothing on this page is gated. The method, the chapter list, what we typically find, and the document itself are all below — read it before you decide whether to talk to us.
Four artifacts. One operator-grade verdict.
A single index across governance, operating discipline, model usage, and shipping velocity — benchmarked against YC-stage peers.
The 8 risk categories every AI-native startup leaks on: data, prompts, agents, identity, vendor lock-in, audit trail, IP, and customer trust.
Where your current Claude / OpenAI stack sits versus a production-grade AI Operating Layer — and what is missing between the model and your customers.
A sequenced remediation plan with owner, effort, and impact — written in operator language, not a slide deck.
Seven days, fully in the open.
One founder call, two engineers on our side, and roughly three hours of your team's time across the week. Here is the exact sequence.
Eight chapters. 24 pages. No filler.
The same four gaps, almost every time.
of the AI-native teams we audit cannot produce an audit trail for an agent action taken 30 days ago.
have production prompts that carry customer data into a third-party model with no redaction layer.
have no rollback path for an autonomous tool call — the only remediation is a code deploy.
can answer 'who approved this model going to customers?' with a name and a date.
Aggregated and anonymised across the AI-native teams we have audited. Your report names the specific instance, the owner, and the fix.
Founders already shipping with AI.
The audit is a diagnostic, not a funnel.
Most teams take the 30/60/90 and run it themselves. If you want help, these are the only three things we sell after it — priced in public.

The sanitized document we deliver to founders — open, no form, no NDA, no email sequence. Take it, run it internally, and come back only if you want the work done with you.
