Deaf-Led AI Governance

Independent Governance for Sign Language AI Procurement

Novara Consulting Group helps governments, healthcare systems, universities, employers, and public institutions evaluate sign language AI before procurement or deployment. Using the SLAT Framework™, we assess vendor claims, governance, evidence, accessibility risk, and institutional accountability.

Vendor Review

Independent evaluation of sign language AI vendor claims.

Procurement Risk

Identify governance, accessibility, and deployment risks before purchase.

SLAT Framework™

Criterion-based assessment built specifically for sign language AI.

Public Policy

Research and guidance for governments, universities, healthcare systems, and employers.

Procurement Is Outrunning the Evidence

Sign language AI is being purchased and deployed faster than the evidence for it can be established. Vendor demonstrations and accessibility-conformance documents certify that a signed output exists — not that it conveys meaning to Deaf users. Institutions are left approving systems they cannot independently verify.

Novara provides that independent layer. The SLAT Framework™ evaluates vendor claims, governance, evidence quality, accessibility risk, and institutional accountability — so procurement decisions rest on evidence, not marketing.
