What comes first depends on what your agency is responsible for

A statewide program, a municipal court with no technology staff, and the team who will maintain the system in year three are not solving the same problem. Each page below sets out that situation, the work that usually comes first, and a first engagement that can be bought on its own.

The agencies

The names here are the US ones. The descriptions are written around what the body does: sets direction for courts it does not directly control, holds the record, runs the counter, inherits the system and maintains it in year three. A courts service, a ministry of justice, or a provincial court services division will find its own function described under a different name.

One of these is a role rather than an agency type

The person running an agency's AI program does not search by agency type. They search for the job: what a readiness picture should contain, what an AI use policy has to cover, which project to pilot first. The role also arrives in agencies of every size, sometimes as a full-time appointment and sometimes as a portfolio handed to a deputy, so organizing that page by agency would put the same reader in five places.

For AI and Innovation Leaders

You were hired to build an AI program from nothing, usually without engineers. We provide the readiness evidence, the policy, and the first working project.

What is genuinely hard is not the policy language. It is knowing which of your systems could support any of it, which data is clean enough to use, and which project to do first so that the first one works.

Where an engagement usually starts

Each of these is bought on its own, with a written scope, and stopping after it is a normal outcome that costs nothing later. Where a price has not been committed to yet, the page says so rather than showing a number we would have to revise.

The safe first step

The readiness assessment is free, takes about 20 minutes, and returns a scored report you keep. It creates no obligation, no call, and no follow-up.
