I spent 10 years charging $25,000 for AI governance frameworks. Then I productized them.

Some time back I sat across from a CRO at a large bank. He had 6 weeks before a regulatory examination. His AI governance framework did not exist.

He called three consulting firms. The fastest proposal came back in 19 days. The engagement — 14 weeks. The cost — $32,000.

He had neither the time nor the budget.

That conversation never left me.

Today I am launching AXIOM on Product Hunt — a consulting platform that packages a decade of senior advisory work into instantly downloadable, execution-ready AI governance and model risk frameworks. Aligned to MAS TRM, EU AI Act, SR 11-7, Basel IV, and FCA guidance. Deployed in 2–4 days. Starting from $999.

Building this taught me three things about productising consulting that I wish someone had told me earlier:

1. The format is as important as the content. A 60-slide PowerPoint is not a deliverable. An implementation-ready Word document structured for board sign-off is.

2. Price transparency builds more trust than price anchoring. Showing $999 next to what a consulting firm charges creates immediate credibility — not doubt.

3. The free product is the sales engine. Our 40-point AI Governance Readiness Checklist has driven more conversations than any paid promotion. Give the diagnosis away. The treatment follows naturally.

Would love to hear from other founders who have productised services or consulting expertise — what was the hardest part of the transition?

And if anyone here works in fintech, banking, or compliance — I would genuinely value your feedback on AXIOM today.
