Process Mechanics is a law practice. The work that happens here often produces tools, frameworks, and operating models that are most useful when they live as something other than legal advice. Two of those have become standalone ventures.
Both ventures are operated separately from Process Mechanics. The law practice does not represent Model Monster or OSPOCO clients, and engagements with the ventures do not create an attorney-client relationship with Process Mechanics.
Corporate AI Liability Management and Automated Due Diligence
Most AI governance tools collect attestations: a developer fills out a form claiming a system is compliant, a reviewer signs off, the form goes in a binder. We take a different approach. Model Monster captures the system itself as a graph — components, operations, resources, execution paths — and evaluates that graph against policies and risks automatically. The output is a technical artifact a regulator, customer, or auditor can interrogate, not a description that takes the developer's word for it.
Model Monster is the production implementation of the CORE Framework. We work with companies to document AI systems for EU AI Act compliance, to enforce internal AI policies before deployment rather than after, and to generate the evidentiary record that supports a reasonable-care defense if something goes wrong.
OSPO-as-a-service
Most companies use open source software. Far fewer have an Open Source Program Office: the team that handles license compliance, vulnerability response, contribution policy, foundation engagement, and the day-to-day mechanics of being a responsible consumer of (and contributor to) the broader ecosystem. Without an OSPO, those questions land on whoever happens to be nearby — usually a developer or a lawyer who already has a different job.
OSPOCO provides the OSPO function as a service. We work with companies that need the capability but don't yet have the volume to justify a full-time team, and with companies that have a team but need specific expertise on license selection, foundation participation, contribution review, or audit response. The goal is to make open source operational rather than a recurring fire drill.
