Handbook / The catalogues
The catalogues.
Eight entry points. The general programs catalogue, the Trust & Governance hub, four vertical catalogues, the CISO & vendor-risk briefing, and the pricing one-pager. Each is print-ready, A4, and built to be forwarded to procurement, the CISO, the CFO. The Trust & Governance hub is the one exception, a web page that frames the five briefings.

What we publish
Programs Catalogue
Cross-vertical. Four programs, the comparison matrix, and a decision tree for choosing the one that fits your constraints. The document a champion forwards to their COO when the question is "which one do we start with."
Trust & Governance
The operating model that has to exist before agents go to production. The four-layer stack (scoping, verification, governance, monitoring) and the five briefings for CISOs, CDOs, Heads of Risk and Heads of AI Ops at banks, insurers, regulators, hospitals and governments.
Financial Services
Banks, insurers, asset managers, fintechs. Mapped to SR 11-7, SS1/23, DORA, AI Act, ISO 42001. Conformal-prediction and self-consistency research cited by section number. Module 5 is the regulatory-mapping artifact your model-risk function will read.
Professional Services
Consulting, audit, advisory, legal. Lead reference: the PwC AI Factory engagement. Brand-voice gate, partner sign-off workflow, engagement-letter language for AI-assisted deliverables, billable-hour math the CFO will pressure-test.
Higher Education
Universities, business schools, accredited online providers. Lead reference: the OPIT AI tutoring system (−60% professor support, +40% student progression). Faculty governance, academic integrity, accreditation defensibility against AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA, HCERES, QAA, ANVUR.
Hospitality
Hotel groups, hotel brands, short-term rental portfolios. Brand-standard compliance (Forbes Five-Star, AAA Five-Diamond, LQA), PCI DSS, GDPR, and the multi-property consistency problem. No hospitality reference yet; the first client can become it, agreed openly before kickoff.
CISO & Vendor-Risk Briefing
For security and procurement. Legal entity, data handling, GDPR posture, IP, AI Act / ISO 42001 / NIST AI RMF mapping, security posture, insurance, named references, procurement checklist. Designed to be read in fifteen minutes by a senior security buyer.
Pricing One-Pager
The three programs published at cohorte.co/teams (the Pilot is handbook-only), the engagement mechanics, and the honest funding-paths section. Landscape A4, designed to print without losing meaning. The CFO's reference document during budget discussions.
Want the right pack curated?
Most champions forward three documents: the relevant vertical catalogue (procurement, sponsor), the CISO briefing (security, vendor risk), and the pricing one-pager (CFO). Use the contact form and name your vertical in the message. Charafeddine sends back a curated pack with a co-signed cover note inside one business hour.
What goes in each vertical catalogue
Every vertical catalogue follows the same shape, regardless of sector: who it is for, why this vertical needs different training, why Cohorte specifically, the use cases mapped against named regulatory frameworks, the programs portfolio, the honest objection handler. The vertical content is rewritten for each context; the structure is the same so a buyer comparing two of them sees a consistent shape.
| Section | What it covers |
|---|---|
| 01 · Why this vertical needs different training | The specific reasons generic AI training fails inside your sector. Regulatory regimes, brand standards, operating realities. |
| 02 · Why Cohorte | Published methodology, open-source reference stack, named references, founder on every engagement. The case for working with us, written without hype. |
| 03 · Use case map | The AI workflows operators in your sector are actually shipping. Where each sits. What verification primitive each requires. |
| 04 · Sample curriculum | The twelve-week vertical bootcamp, module by module, with the regulatory annex called out where it matters. |
| 05 · Programs portfolio | Pilot, Team Bootcamp, Curriculum License, AI Readiness Program. Vertical-specific tuning for each. |
| 06 · Objections we always hear | The four questions vertical buyers always ask. Honest answers, on the page, not in a sales call. |
| 07 · Closing | Direct line. Response within five business days. No funnel. No SDR. |
How buyers use the catalogues
Three patterns we see often:
- Pre-discovery reading. The buyer reads the vertical catalogue plus the CISO briefing before the discovery call. They show up already aligned on language, scope, and procurement basics. The call is faster and better.
- Internal forwarding. The catalogue gets forwarded to the sponsor, the CIO, the head of L&D, the procurement team, the CISO. Different audiences read different sections. The PDF is built for that flow.
- Reference document during procurement. The CISO briefing in particular travels with the engagement through procurement. Insurance limits, regulatory mapping, subprocessor list, references, all in one place.
