About Us

Built by Legal Professionals, for Legal Professionals

Most AI governance resources are built for engineers. Method 9 is different. Our framework empowers in-house legal, compliance, and procurement teams to evaluate, guide, and manage AI technologies confidently — without needing a technical background or a six-figure platform.

The Problem

Lack of Legal-Centric Models

Business teams are expected to govern AI without structured tools.
