About the resource library

Is everything here free?+

Yes. Every tool, checklist, brief and use case on this page is free to open and free to cite with attribution. Some downloads ask for a work email so we can send you the updated version when the underlying framework changes.

What is the difference between the Resource Library, the Research Hub, and CSI Intelligence?+

This library holds the practical instruments — things you run, fill in, or hand to your team. The Research Hub holds the analysis and the published frameworks. CSI Intelligence is the live archive of every article and brief as it publishes.

Which resource should I start with?+

If you have AI in production, start with the AI Governance Assessment — eight minutes to a scored baseline on the S0–S4 maturity scale. If you are connecting agents to tools, start with the MCP Trust-Boundary Audit Checklist. If you operate vessels, start with the USCG Readiness Checker.

Run the tools first. Book the call second.

Score your exposure with no sales conversation attached. When you want the architecture behind the score, we are here.
