How I Work

Most people meet me
one of two ways.

A half-day, or a programme. Both start with the same regulatory expertise. Neither starts with a discovery deck.

Tier 0 — Fastest to Book
Executive Workshop
From AED 5,000
Half-day session

A focused half-day session for your CIO/CDO, compliance and technology leads, and L&D — covering the specific regulatory obligations that apply to your live AI initiatives. Not a generic AI-awareness talk.

  • On-site (UAE/KSA) or virtual — delivered personally, no juniors, no franchise trainers
  • Tailored to your organisation's specific AI initiatives and applicable regulations
  • Open Q&A — practical, not theoretical
  • Natural next step into the Readiness Sprint if a governance gap is surfaced on the day

Entry — Fast Start
Readiness Sprint

The fastest path from a regulatory notice to a board-ready response. Designed for organisations that need to prove a credible governance plan within a short compliance window.

  • AI initiative mapping to applicable controls
  • Board-ready Assessment Report and Remediation Roadmap
  • Specialised training session for governance and technology teams

If the assessment is not in your hands in 4 weeks, week 4 is free. No conditions.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Can we start with something smaller before committing to the Readiness Sprint?
Yes — the AI Governance & Compliance Executive Workshop. A single half-day session, from AED 5,000, delivered personally, tailored to your organisation's actual AI initiatives and applicable regulations. No procurement cycle, no multi-week commitment. Many clients meet me here first, then move to the Readiness Sprint once a specific governance gap is identified.
How is this different from PwC, Deloitte, or a large consulting firm?
Large firms have AI practices and governance practices — separately. They do not have a practitioner who contributed to writing UAE PDPL, UAE NESA IAS, and KSA NCA ECC, who has deployed Governance-as-Code in GCC production environments, and who will personally deliver every session. When you engage QI Lab, I am the person on the call, the person building the tools, and the person answering your regulatory questions. No layers. No juniors.
Which regulations do you cover?
UAE: NESA IAS (P1 Controls), UAE PDPL, Dubai ISR, ADSIC v2. KSA: NDMO, NCA ECC1:2018, KSA PDPL. Qatar: Qatar AI Guidelines, Qatar PDPL. International standards applied in GCC context: ISO 27001, IEC 62443, COBIT 2019, NIST AI RMF, NIST OSCAL, OECD AI.
What happens after the engagement ends?
Your team owns the tools and the capability. The compliance accelerators are embedded in your environment and operated by your people. The Governance-as-Code platform runs continuously. The engagement ends. The capability does not.
