What is the Audit-Tested Product-Led Operating Models course about?
Traditional compliance frameworks are built for checklists, not integration. They live in silos, create friction with engineering and product, and only prove their value during audits. This reactive posture limits strategic influence and increases operational drag. As product-led growth accelerates, compliance must shift from gatekeeper to enabler , with systems that are inherently audit-ready and designed for user adoption.
