The AI Trust: Compliance as Competitive Advantage
Deals die in security reviews. 68% of enterprises have deployed AI without a formal risk assessment. Compliance is the new competitive advantage.
The AI Trust Table meets every other Saturday morning at KavehG Café in Danville — in a private room, around a single round table.
KavehG roasts their own beans in-house. Every detail is intentional — from the roast to the room. That's what governance should look like too. Craft, not checkbox. Governance by design — embedded at the planning stage, not bolted on after the architecture is locked in.

People who are moving from "we use AI" to "we govern AI — here's the certificate." Governance becomes a go-to-market accelerant, not a compliance burden.
The setting: The private room is warm wood, cozy, around a single table. Some conversations don't belong on Zoom. They belong at a table.
