About GovernBench

What GovernBench measures

GovernBench, at governbench.com, measures which AI governance tools map the EU AI Act, the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, and which publish a price.

What GovernBench is

GovernBench reads AI governance and AI compliance software the way an assay office reads metal: every tool against the same marks. For each one we read the maker’s own site for what it maps of the EU AI Act, the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001, what it does for an AI programme, and whether it publishes a price. Every reading links to its source and carries its date.

We say what a maker’s site shows. We never say a tool makes anyone compliant, and nothing here is legal advice. Read how we read.

How it is paid for

Makers pay once to join the readings, and may pay for a Featured place, always labelled. No maker can buy a punch, a rank or a verdict. Each paid place is listed in our advertising disclosure.

Who runs GovernBench

GovernBench is written and run by Team GovernBench. Every listing, guide and report is published under the site's own name, and the team answers for all of it.

Changes to a listing

Changes a maker asks for are made only on a paid listing. A listing that has never been paid for shows what our own data says.

Anyone can report a wrong fact with “Report an error” on a listing, at no cost. We fix it once the tool's own website confirms it. Paying buys changes and speed, never accuracy.

Where we use AI

AI models do the reading and the first drafts. A model reads each tool's own website and drafts its listing. Our articles and guides are drafted by a model from our own data.

Checks decide what goes live. Every fact on a listing must point to its source on the tool's website, and a sentence that website does not support is cut. In an article, every figure must match our data and every quote must appear word for word in its source. A second reading checks a sample of facts against each tool's own pages. An article that fails a check is not published.
