Frequently asked questions
Ten short answers. Each one can be read on its own.
- 1
What is Spektor?
Spektor is an advisory boutique on the governance of AI adoption. It works with the top of organisations and builds organisational AI readiness as a system: internal rules that work, assigned responsibilities, people who know how to use AI within those rules. The starting point is a thesis: AI is not the problem, governing its adoption is.
- 2
What does Spektor not do?
Spektor is not a training company, an AI agency, a software vendor, a law firm, a cybersecurity firm or an IT consultancy. It does not sell catalogue courses, software development, automations, prompt engineering or licences. It has no technology partnerships that steer its recommendations and no supplier to recommend.

What is organisational AI readiness?
Organisational AI readiness is the condition of an organisation that can adopt artificial intelligence while keeping control, accountability and the capacity to decide. It shows in three verifiable things: rules of use that people apply, assigned responsibilities for who authorises, who checks and who answers, and training proportionate to roles and actual uses. And in the ability to demonstrate them.

What is the Executive Briefing?
The Executive Briefing is the first step with Spektor: ninety minutes with those who lead the organisation, prepared around a preliminary picture of the organisation. It is not a presentation or an introductory course. After the session senior management receives a written memo with the findings and the decisions to consider. The memo contains at least one finding the organisation did not know.

What does it cost to start with Spektor?
The starting point is the Executive Briefing, which has a defined cost and format, communicated when the request is made. There is no free version. The cost of the Kickoff, the first project, is stated in the written proposal that follows the Briefing. Spektor does not publish figures on its website.

Does Spektor provide training?
Yes, but never on its own. Train is one of the six phases of the Spektor Method and takes place inside a Kickoff: after the mapping of the real uses of AI, and before the rules that make binding what people have learned. It is proportionate to roles and actual uses, as the law requires. Spektor does not sell catalogue courses or training on individual tools.
- 7
Is Spektor a law firm?
No. Spektor does not provide legal advice or legal assistance. It works on the governance of AI adoption: internal rules, responsibilities, training, evidence. It takes the AI Act and the GDPR into account, but its work is organisational: making sure the rules are adopted in real processes, not only written.
- 8
Does Spektor review AI-generated code?
No. Spektor does not carry out code reviews, just as it does not deliver any operational service. Within the system, however, AI-assisted development is a domain of governance like the others: the dedicated programme defines the internal review standards, the criteria for human oversight and the responsibilities, which the organisation applies with its own people.

Who are the founders of Spektor?
The founders of Spektor are Alessandro Pavoni and Raffaella Aghemo.
