Soma
Soma Workshops

Bring your teams into the room where your standard of care gets written.

A single working session where the people who build and run your AI author their own standard of care for the decisions it makes about people — in their words, grounded in the four duties. They leave with something real, and the means to keep it alive themselves.

What a session helps your teams do

Your AI already decides about people. This is where your teams learn to do it with care.

The principles live in a policy document. The real decisions are made by product, data, and ops — who are rarely asked, and rarely handed a shared language or a practical bar to hold the work to. A session is where that changes.

Carry principles into the build

Leadership values rarely reach what an engineer actually does on a Tuesday. A session bridges the policy and the pull request — where care is either kept or lost.

Find a shared language

Legal, product, and data each describe what's at stake differently. Common words let the conversation actually begin — and move.

Speak for the person decided about

Every team tends its own part of the system. The applicant, the customer, the patient on the other side rarely has anyone in the room. The standard gives them a seat — and a voice.

What your people walk away with

They leave having made something — not just heard something.

A written standard of care

Your team's own document, mapping the four duties to your actual systems — drafted in the room, yours to keep.

A shared vocabulary

Competence, candor, recourse, non-abandonment — terms the whole org can use to make decisions faster and align across functions.

A prioritised gap list

Where your current AI decisions fall short of the standard, ranked — so you know what to fix first.

A repeatable method

The facilitation toolkit to re-run the session yourselves as systems and teams change. No ongoing dependency.

What was hidden, surfaced

The quiet part of the day: undercurrents and unspoken tensions come into the open — things the room half-knew but never named, now visible and able to be aligned.

Packages & pricing

Pick the room. Each session is a flat fee.

Inside the room — The Care Lab

A working day, in four moves.

Move 1

Map the decisions

Surface every place your AI decides about a person — many of which the room hasn't named out loud before.

Move 2

Learn the grammar

The four duties, made concrete with real examples from your industry. The shared language clicks in.

Move 3

Author the standard

Teams write their own commitments against each duty — specific to the systems they actually ship.

Move 4

See what to align first

Hold current practice against the standard the room just wrote — and leave with a clear, prioritised list of what to align first.

Why Soma runs it

Care, made practical — and yours to keep.

  • i

    Built on a published standard

    The four duties are open and citable. You're adopting a real framework, not a vendor's black box.

  • ii

    Your people author it

    What teams create, they keep. We facilitate; you own the result outright.

  • iii

    Yours to keep

    You leave able to re-run the session yourselves — no ongoing dependency required.

Care, made specific enough to act on.

Common questions

The practical details.

On-site or remote?

Both work. On-site is best for the full-day team workshop; leadership sessions run well either way.

Who should attend?

The Care Lab is for the people whose work becomes the system's decisions — product, data, engineering, ops. The Power to Care is for founders and senior leadership. The Lunch & Learn is open to anyone.

Do we need to prepare?

No. Bring your real systems and your people — the session is built to work without prep on either side.

What happens after?

You keep the standard, the toolkit, and the list of what to align first. The Care Lab includes a 30-day check-in.

Plan a date.

Pick the session, choose a few dates that suit you, and we take it from there. A deposit holds the paid sessions; the Lunch Date is free.
