Advisory
Decide what AI should do here.
Where you stand, what's worth doing first, what to buy versus build, and how to explain it to a board or a room of trustees.
How it worksAI advisory · Policy · Privacy · Implementation · Agents
Solidare AI helps unions and funds, nonprofits and public bodies, and growing businesses decide what AI should do, write the rules, protect the data, and build the assistants and agents that do the work. Then we stay to keep it right.

How governed AI runs here
Where organizations are
Most organizations we meet have no written rules, no map of what data is going where, and a board that hasn't been asked. That's normal. It's also the cheapest moment to get it right.

What we do
Start anywhere. Each stands on its own, and each is built to make the next one easier.
01
Decide what AI should do here.
Where you stand, what's worth doing first, what to buy versus build, and how to explain it to a board or a room of trustees.
How it works02
Write the rules people will actually follow.
An AI use policy, an approval path for new tools, oversight roles, and a review cadence — built on NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 structure, written in plain language.
How it works03
Keep member, employee and client data where it belongs.
Find where sensitive data is already flowing into AI tools, review the vendors handling it, and put controls in place before it becomes an incident.
How it works04
Put AI to work inside the systems you already run.
Private AI in your environment, connected to your records, membership system, LMS, accounting and email — rolled out with training and measured against real hours.
How it works05
Build agents that do real work, with a person in the loop.
Scoped agents for intake, reconciliation, drafting, scheduling and answering questions from your own material — with approval gates, logs and an off switch.
How it worksHow an engagement goes
The same path every time, so you always know what's next and what it will cost before we start it.
01
We sit with the people who do the work and learn how it runs today, including what's already being pasted into chatbots.
02
What data you hold, who touches it, what the law expects of you, and where AI would take real hours off the table.
03
Policy, priorities, private or public. Written so a non-technical board or a room of trustees can approve it in one meeting.
04
Assistants, connections, agents, in your environment, with approval gates, tested against the threats that matter.
05
We monitor, tune, and update the rules as AI and the law change. You own everything we build.
Packages
Six ways to begin. Each has a fixed scope, a timeline, and a list of what you'll hold at the end.
Any organization that hasn't yet decided what AI is for here.
What you getOrganizations whose staff are already using AI without written rules.
What you getAnyone holding member, employee, patient, donor or client data.
What you getOrganizations ready to move from trying AI to running it.
What you getTeams with one repetitive workflow they'd hand off tomorrow if they could trust it.
What you getWe keep what's running healthy, keep the rules current as AI and the law change, and sit in as your technology voice when decisions come up.
Industries
We came up through the union world. The standard we learned there — the data belongs to the people it names — applies to every organization we work with. Who we serve
Business managers, agents, office staff and executive boards.
You hold standing, hours, dispatch order, grievances and discipline for every member. AI is already in the office; the question is whether it is on the local's terms.
Where AI helps first →Training directors, coordinators, instructors and trustees.
Your curriculum is years of instructor work and it is your property. The Department of Labor is bringing AI into registered apprenticeship; funders will ask for a plan.
Where AI helps first →Administrators, trustees, plan professionals and participant-services staff.
Participant data, claims and eligibility carry fiduciary duty and, for health plans, HIPAA. A board needs a record that the questions were asked before AI touched any of it.
Where AI helps first →Executive directors, program leads, development and communications staff.
Small staff, big responsibility: donor, client and program data, grant reporting that has to be right, and a board that needs to approve what it doesn't fully understand.
Where AI helps first →Agencies, special districts, school and college administrators, elected boards.
Resident data, public-records obligations, procurement rules and open meetings: AI in a public body has to be explainable to the public that funds it.
Where AI helps first →Owners, estimators, project managers and office managers.
Estimates, SOPs, customer history and crew records are your edge. Your people are already using AI on them; the question is whether it is inside the law and inside your control.
Where AI helps first →Owners and administrators of law, accounting, engineering and healthcare practices.
Client and patient confidentiality is the business. AI can take real hours off the table, inside a boundary you can describe to a client, a regulator or a licensing board.
Where AI helps first →Private AI
A model that knows your manuals, your contracts and your records, runs on hardware you own or a tenant that's only yours, logs everything it does, and never trains on your data.
Tier 1 · Local
Runs on hardware you own.
Nothing leaves. Fixed cost. Best for anything that names a person.
Tier 2 · Private tenant
A cloud account that's only yours.
Isolated; model and documents inside it.
Tier 3 · Enterprise chatbot
A vendor's tool, no-training contract.
Fine for general drafting. Data still sits with the vendor.
Engagement examples
Composite examples drawn from our work, details changed, no client named. All six examples →
Training center · AI Use Policy Sprint · 3 weeks
Instructors and office staff at a trades training center were uploading course material and apprentice information into public AI tools. Nobody had written rules, and the training director had been asked by trustees what the plan was.
What they hold now → A policy staff can recite, a record trustees can show, and a 90-day check on the calendar.
Benefit fund office · Privacy & Security Review · 4 weeks
A fund office was about to sign for a participant-facing chat assistant. The demo was good. The contract said nothing about training, retention or protected health information.
What they hold now → A contract with the answers in it, a resolution in the minutes, and a standing questionnaire for the next vendor.
Solidarity principles
Nothing you share with us, or with the AI we build, trains anyone else's model.
AI drafts, sorts and flags. A person approves anything that touches a member, an employee, a patient or a dollar.
Every AI use is disclosed to the people it affects, in plain language.
You own the policies, the agents and the setup. If you ever want to walk away, you take it with you.
We'll tell you when the answer is “not yet” or “not this.”
What we work to
Aligned, not "certified." We design to these so your program holds up to a regulator, an auditor or a trustee, and so certification is reachable later if you want it.

Law · September 1, 2026
Colorado and California both switch on rules for AI in consequential decisions. If AI touches hiring, discipline, benefits or eligibility, here is what you owe people, and a 90-day way to get ready.
