Complete the following 3 minute diagnostic survey to see which service tier would best fit your organization:
Tier 1: Regulatory Baseline & Rapid Verification
Standard Compliance Audit
Ideal for: Small-to-Mid Market CEOs and HR Directors
Pain Points Alleviated: Immediate Regulatory De-Risking.
This offering is designed for organizations utilizing established third-party AI tools who require immediate, high-fidelity verification to meet state and local mandates (e.g., NYC LL 144, IL HB 3773).
Business Impact: Neutralizes the risk of $1,500/day non-compliance fines while validating your commitment to ethical AI to shareholders and candidates.
Technical Rigor: We deploy our proprietary Hughes Compliance Toolkit to perform independent statistical analysis, generating the necessary impact ratios and disparate impact data without disrupting your existing HR workflows.
Legal Shield: Provides a standardized "Summary of Results" and a defensible audit trail that satisfies transparency requirements and provides an affirmative defense against early-stage regulatory inquiries.
Pricing:
$12,000 - 18,000 USD
Tier 2: Custom Architecture & Global Defensibility
Enterprise & Custom Audit
Ideal for: Global CTOs, Chief Privacy Officers, and General Counsel at scale.
Pain Points Alleviated: Mathematical Defensibility & Market Access.
For enterprises building custom models or operating in high-stakes jurisdictions, this tier provides a deep-tissue examination of AI logic and data integrity.
Business Impact: Facilitates market entry into strictly regulated zones (EU, CA, CO) by providing the "Conformity Assessments" required for high-risk AI systems. It protects the firm’s valuation by ensuring your proprietary IP is built on a "fairness-by-design" foundation.
Technical Rigor: Beyond basic scanning, we conduct Intersectional Analysis and Proxy Variable Stress-Testing. Our methodology aligns with the NIST AI RMF 2.0 and includes LaTeX-verified mathematical proofs to ensure results are statistically significant and robust against "noisy" data sets.
Legal Shield: Addresses the most complex discovery risks in AI litigation. We produce comprehensive technical documentation and risk mitigation plans that transform "black box" algorithms into transparent, defensible corporate assets.

Tier 3: Continuous Governance & Model Integrity (CaaS)
Compliance-as-a-Service
Ideal for: Forward-thinking CEOs and Risk Committees.
Pain Points Alleviated: Continuous Protection against 'Model Drift'.
AI is not static, and neither is the law. Our CaaS model provides an ongoing "safety net" for firms that deploy AI at velocity, ensuring that yesterday’s compliant model doesn’t become tomorrow’s liability.
Business Impact: Replaces the anxiety of annual "audit sprints" with predictable, continuous oversight. It allows the CEO to scale AI initiatives with the confidence that an independent "referee" is monitoring the pulse of the system.
Technical Rigor: We establish a persistent monitoring layer to detect Model Drift and performance degradation in real-time. Quarterly "Audit Telemetry" reports provide the CTO with actionable data to refine model parameters before they violate compliance thresholds.
Legal Shield: Maintains a "Living Audit Trail." This ongoing record of "Reasonable Care" is the gold standard for defending against claims of "reckless" or "knowing" violations under new 2026 statutes, proving the firm was proactive rather than reactive.
Starting at $2,000 / mo
Final pricing is determined by model complexity, data volume, and regulatory jurisdiction.*
Pricing & ROI
The cost of a Hughes AI Audit engagement is fundamentally anchored in the asymmetric risk of the modern regulatory landscape. While Tier 1 engagements provide an immediate "Legal Shield" against statutory non-compliance fines—which can reach $1,500 per day under mandates like NYC LL 144—our higher-tier services protect the core valuation of your firm. By utilizing Technical Red-Teaming and Intersectional Analysis, we transform "black box" algorithms from a potential liability into a transparent, defensible corporate asset. For enterprises operating at scale, the investment in LaTeX-verified mathematical proofs and persistent monitoring is the only way to prove "Reasonable Care" in an era of aggressive AI litigation. Ultimately, our pricing reflects the technical rigor required to ensure that your proprietary IP remains robust against model drift and disparate impact, securing your market access in the world's most strictly regulated zones.
Declaration of Auditor Independence & Impartiality
Hughes AI Audit operates as a strictly independent, third-party auditing body. In accordance with New York City Local Law 144 (NYC Admin. Code § 20-871) and evolving state standards in Illinois and Colorado, we certify that:
No Financial Interest: Hughes AI Audit and its principal auditors maintain no direct or indirect financial interest in the Automated Employment Decision Tool (AEDT) vendors we evaluate.
No Development Conflict: We do not participate in the design, development, or marketing of the algorithms subjected to our audits.
Objective Impartiality: Our fees are for the performance of the audit itself and are never contingent upon a specific 'pass' or 'fail' result. This ensures our findings remain an objective 'Ground Truth' for both employers and regulators.
By maintaining these standards, we provide the 'Independence' required for your audit to serve as a valid legal defense under DCWP Final Rules.
