Independent AI Advisory
Basil C. Puglisi serves as advisor. Puglisi Consulting offers advisory review of AI use in Marketing, Content, Research, Education, and Workflows.
Basil reads the work an organization has planned, deployed, or bought, then reports what holds up and what needs a named owner before it goes further.

Advisory Reviews
Six Reviews
Each review starts from a question leadership is already asking and ends with written findings it can act on.
AI Governance and Liability Audit
How do we evaluate our AI governance and liability?
Basil serves as third-party auditor, reviewing the controls, records, and decision points behind an organization’s AI use against the NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001. The findings show where accountability holds and where exposure sits.
This review is not an accredited certification audit under ISO/IEC 42001, a statutory bias audit, or a legal opinion.
AI Strategy and Readiness Review
Does this AI plan make sense for our business?
Before money moves, the plan gets an independent AI readiness assessment against the facts it rests on and the outcomes it promises to measure.
AI Deployment and Agent Review
What went wrong with our deployment?
The review compares what was promised with what was delivered and finds where the deployment broke from its own plan. It covers the AI agents given access to company data and processes.
AI Recovery and Remediation Review
How do we recover from a bad deployment?
After a failed rollout, the review sets out what to keep, what to stop, and which decisions need a named owner before work resumes.
AI ROI and Value Review
How do we measure our ROI?
The review ties AI spending to outcomes the business already tracks, so the return shows up in numbers leadership trusts.
AI Literacy and Workforce Review
Can our people direct, challenge, verify, and own the work they do with AI?
The review measures the governance competence of staff who use AI and tests the training program against the AI literacy duty in EU AI Act Article 4.
In Their Words
Eight people describe Basil on camera, in their own words.
I like his passion more than anything else. I think he really believes in what he’s doing.
Jeffrey L. Ogden
He’s very passionate about social media marketing, and I’m very passionate about public relations. So when you put two of us together, you get a great combination of passion.
Monique Merhige-Machado
Innovative, I think, is a word to use.
Bill Corbett Jr.

The Handoff
When a review calls for hands-on work, Basil hands the client to a practitioner whose work he knows firsthand, so the client starts with someone already qualified.
