Forty years on the floor.
This is what that builds.

ClearpathAI was built by practitioners — people who have spent decades building operations systems for manufacturers, distributors, and regulated industries. Not by lawyers who learned compliance from a textbook. Not by consultants who have never been responsible for what happens when a system fails.

CORA (Catalyst Operations & Risk Advisors) is the parent organization. We have been building governance frameworks for regulated industries since before AI governance was a category. Six consecutive Excellent SQF ratings, built from scratch for a mid-market food manufacturer. That work is the foundation ClearpathAI sits on.

Why AI governance,
and why now.

The same pattern we saw in food safety and quality management is happening in AI. Companies are adopting tools faster than they can govern them. The regulatory response is coming — in some sectors, it has already arrived. The organizations that build governance frameworks now, before the audit, before the incident, before the customer questionnaire — those are the ones that stay operational when it matters.

ClearpathAI is not a software platform. It is a service built around deliverables your team can actually maintain, mapped to the frameworks your auditors will actually use, at a price point mid-market operators can actually afford.
