Understanding Vouli IQ

What exactly is Vouli IQ?

Vouli IQ is an AI Strategy Intelligence platform — an “AI Transformation Operating System” for enterprise leaders. In one place it helps you diagnose AI maturity, build a governed roadmap, manage risk and compliance, prove value, and generate board-grade reports.

Is Vouli IQ a board portal (like Diligent or OnBoard)?

No — and deliberately so. Board portals run the mechanics of meetings: agendas, papers, minutes, resolutions, e-signatures. Vouli IQ is an AI Governance & Decision Accountability platform: it diagnoses your AI posture, prices your risk, verifies every AI-generated number against its source, and tracks every recommendation to a receipted outcome. Vouli IQ is designed to run alongside a board portal: the portal runs the meeting; Vouli IQ governs the decisions.

How is this different from ChatGPT or a generic AI copilot?

Generic copilots help you draft and search. Vouli IQ is built for boardroom decisions: it scores your AI posture across the nine SOVEREIGN pillars, sequences a roadmap with owners and metrics, tracks risk and ROI, and grounds every answer in your evidence with citations — refusing rather than inventing. It is the decision layer above the copilots.

How is this different from hiring McKinsey, BCG, Accenture or Deloitte?

Consulting delivers bespoke human insight over months at six- or seven-figure cost, then leaves. Vouli IQ delivers consulting-grade depth as continuous software — in minutes, transparently priced, always on and evidence-grounded. It is designed to work alongside your advisors, making every engagement faster and more accountable.

Who is it built for?

Enterprise leaders and their teams across GCCs, Fortune 500s and high-growth firms. Each executive — CEO, CFO, CIO, CTO, CISO, COO, Chief AI Officer — receives intelligence tailored to their mandate.

What outcomes can I expect, and how quickly?

A board-ready AI maturity scorecard and a phased roadmap in your first session, with risk, compliance and value-tracking layered on as you go. Time-to-value is minutes, not months.

What is the SOVEREIGN framework, and what does it stand for?

SOVEREIGN is our proprietary 9-pillar diagnostic for enterprise AI readiness — its name is formed from the nine pillars it assesses: Strategic alignment, Operational readiness, Value realization, Execution excellence, Risk & resilience, Ecosystem, Innovation IQ, Governance and Navigational agility. Together they span 15 dimensions, producing a weighted maturity score with a verdict band from CRISIS to EXCELLENCE, calibrated to your industry, size and role.

Trust & Accuracy

How do I know the AI isn’t hallucinating? Can I trust it in a board meeting?

Grounding is built in. Answers over your data use retrieval with re-ranking and carry citations to the source documents. Numbers written into AI prose are checked against the figures the platform was actually given and rejected when they cannot be traced, and where evidence is thin the platform says so rather than inventing. Independent human review of AI output remains part of every board-grade workflow.

Where do the recommendations and numbers come from?

From your own evidence and a curated library of 94 enterprise frameworks (including the NASSCOM GCC Maturity Model, NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001 and the proprietary SOVEREIGN framework), blended to your situation — with every number traceable.

Can it take actions on its own?

Only with your approval. Agentic actions are consent-first and admin-gated, with a full preview before and a permanent receipt after. Irreversible steps require dual control.

Security & Data

Is our data secure and isolated from other customers?

Yes — strict per-organisation isolation means your data is logically separated from every other tenant, with encryption in transit and at rest, comprehensive audit logging, scoped access and role-based permissions.

Do you train AI models on our data?

No. Your data is used only to provide the service to your organisation. It is never sold and never used to train third-party foundation models.

Where is our data stored? Do you offer data residency?

Customer data is hosted today in AWS Tokyo (ap-northeast-1) with encryption at rest and in transit. EU and India residency cells are on the Enterprise roadmap and are offered only once a cell is live; we do not advertise residency we cannot yet provide.

What security certifications do you hold?

The platform aligns to SOC 2, ISO 27001/42001, NIST AI RMF, GDPR and India DPDP. SOC 2 Type II and ISO certifications are part of the assurance roadmap, and current evidence is available to Enterprise prospects under NDA via the Trust Centre.

Which AI models do you use, and is our data exposed to them?

We use leading enterprise-grade AI models under strict data-processing agreements. Your content is processed under our security and privacy controls, is not used to train those models, and is covered by the same isolation and audit guarantees as the rest of the platform.

Compliance & Governance

How many countries and regulations do you cover?

Compliance intelligence spans 25 jurisdictions across North America, Europe, APAC, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa — mapped to regional regimes such as GDPR, India DPDP, Singapore PDPA, Brazil LGPD and UAE/KSA laws.

Can it help us comply with AI regulations like the EU AI Act?

Yes — it produces EU AI Act and India DPDP evidence packs with tamper-evident manifests, ready for a regulator or auditor, and tracks your obligations on a live regulatory horizon.

Is there an audit trail?

Yes — sensitive actions are comprehensively logged for audit and assurance.

Integration & IT

Does it integrate with our existing tools?

Yes — live notifications to Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Discord and Zapier; a governed, approval-gated MCP grounding plane that reads from any system exposing an MCP server; read-only Salesforce ingest (pipeline, accounts, cases) once your admin connects it; signed outbound webhooks; and a reviewed partner marketplace. Write-back adapters for CRM and ITSM tools are in development.

Can it write our board papers, policies and strategy documents?

Yes — the Document Studio (Pro and above) generates any of 2,000+ enterprise document types across 31 domains, written by the activated executive personas, grounded on your organisation profile and uploaded documents, and released only after a six-layer quality gate. Every figure traces to your data or is marked as a placeholder, and every output is a Vouli IQ draft that requires executive review and approval. You can also upload existing documents (DOCX, PDF, PPTX, XLSX, CSV) to enhance them to world-class standard or synthesise them into an executive decision brief.

Do you offer an API and SDKs?

Yes — a documented REST API (OpenAPI 3.1) with TypeScript and Python SDKs kept in lock-step with the spec, and a developer portal. Registry publication of the SDK packages is pending; they ship from the repository today.

Can we use enterprise SSO and user provisioning?

Yes — SAML SSO and self-serve SCIM 2.0 provisioning on the Enterprise tier. Your admin issues a SCIM token in Settings → Enterprise Access, points Okta, Entra ID or Google Workspace at the endpoint, and users are provisioned through a deterministic group-to-role policy (never silently admin) and de-provisioned the moment the IdP says so.

How long does it take to deploy and onboard?

Minutes for the core experience — it is self-serve from a free trial. Enterprise onboarding (SSO, residency, custom configuration) is supported with a guided setup.

Pricing & Value

How much does it cost?

Five tiers: a free 14-day Trial, Basic $149/mo, Pro $649/mo, Max $1,799/mo, and Enterprise from $9,000/mo billed annually. Annual billing saves ~17% (two months free).

Is there a free trial or pilot?

Yes — a 14-day Trial with no card required, and tailored pilots for Enterprise customers.

What is the ROI and how do you measure value?

The Value Realization module tracks each initiative from business case to realised P&L with NPV/IRR, so value is evidenced rather than assumed.

How does pricing scale?

By tier (seats and module access), with transparent metered add-ons for heavy AI, agent or API usage beyond your plan. Enterprise is tailored to seats, residency and compliance footprint.

Adoption & Support

Do we need data scientists or technical skills to use it?

No. It is built for executives — you answer questions and review board-ready outputs. No engineering required.

Can different executives each get a tailored view?

Yes — the same platform delivers role-specific intelligence to CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, COOs and Chief AI Officers.

Will my team actually adopt it?

It is designed for fast adoption — guided onboarding, sample data, a weekly executive memo and in-context help — with adoption and sentiment tracked.

Can we export our data, and what happens to it if we leave?

You retain ownership of your content and can export it (and request deletion) in line with the privacy policy.

What support do we get, and how do we reach your team?

In-app help and a knowledge base for all plans; Enterprise includes priority support with contractual response times; uptime commitments are agreed per contract on the basis of measured availability. For commercial questions email sales@vouliiq.com; for technical support, care@vouliiq.com.
