What to track for AI hiring compliance

AI hiring review starts with use-case inventory, jurisdiction scope, evidence ownership, and the distinction between Tallin-proved data and customer-attested artifacts.

How to build an AI spend ledger

A company AI spend ledger should reconcile provider bills, expense evidence, directory context, and usage telemetry without hiding how complete each signal is.

  • Start with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and paid AI vendors found in expenses.
  • Separate observed, inferred, enforced, and not covered spend.
  • Attach owner, department, vendor, date, amount, confidence, and evidence source to every row.
  • Never treat missing signals as zero spend.

How to explain AI coverage to leadership

Coverage is the difference between what the company can prove, what it can infer, what it can enforce, and what remains outside the map.

  • Observed usage is directly measured.
  • Inferred usage is likely but not directly measured.
  • Enforced usage is governed by an approved control.
  • Not covered usage should be named as a blind spot, not hidden.

How to prepare an AI usage review

A useful AI usage review gives leadership a forwardable snapshot of spend, adoption, risk, and blind spots without pretending the picture is complete.

  • Show total AI spend with signal labels.
  • List shadow AI tools found through card or expense evidence.
  • Name blind spots explicitly.
  • End with three concrete next actions.

What to track for AI hiring compliance

AI hiring review starts with use-case inventory, jurisdiction scope, evidence ownership, and the distinction between Tallin-proved data and customer-attested artifacts.

  • Name the employment decision before naming the AI model.
  • Track jurisdictions explicitly rather than using a freeform policy note.
  • Separate Tallin-proved evidence from customer-attested evidence.
  • Keep missing audits, notices, and sign-offs visible as open gaps.

Consumer chatbot AI disclosure checklist

Consumer chatbot review should connect external AI experiences to disclosure text, escalation paths, owner review, jurisdiction scope, and operational evidence.

  • Track consumer-facing experiences, not only backend model providers.
  • Attach the exact disclosure copy and human-escalation path.
  • Use Tallin evidence for routes, owners, and activity where available.
  • Treat federal and sector obligations as review pointers, not Tallin verdicts.

How gateway privacy modes work

Gateway privacy modes let a customer choose what Tallin stores while keeping the operational ledger useful for spend, attribution, and policy evidence.

  • Metadata-only stores who, what, when, how much, route, and policy outcome.
  • Full audit capture is useful for deeper review but stores more sensitive content.
  • Helper tokens preserve employee attribution for developer tools.
  • Only self-hosted or VPC deployment fully removes Tallin-hosted data-plane visibility.

How to find shadow AI spend

Shadow AI spend usually appears first in card and expense data, long before it appears in an IT inventory.

  • Scan merchant names for AI vendors and assistants.
  • Group findings by department and account email.
  • Mark unrecognized vendors as unclassified.
  • Review recurring subscriptions first.

Tallin vs. AI gateway tools

AI gateway tools govern traffic for AI applications a company builds. Tallin governs employee use of AI tools the company already has.

  • Gateway tools govern AI application traffic.
  • Tallin governs employee use of existing AI tools.
  • Tallin can use gateway events as one signal source.
  • The product outcome is accountable usage, spend, evidence, and blind spots.

Coverage glossary

Plain-language definitions of the coverage states and evidence terms Tallin uses, from observed and inferred to auto-proved and open gap. Use them in your own policy and reports.

Documentation

Tallin documentation starts with setup paths for the AI Exposure Assessment, provider connections, expense CSV imports, coverage labels, and Exposure Snapshot exports. Product-specific setup instructions are available inside each customer workspace.

Support

Customers can contact Tallin through their workspace or through the company contact route. Support requests should include the workspace domain, affected page, and whether the issue involves signup, provider connection, CSV import, Snapshot export, or billing.
