Andy Schachtel | Founder, Sourcefit
Corporate Counsel Business Journal, August 19, 2026
Companies have spent the past two years worrying about what employees type into AI tools. Corporate Counsel Business Journal argues the harder problem is downstream: AI-generated work moving between people, systems, and organizations with no clear record of what happened along the way.
In a new CCBJ feature, Sourcefit Founder and CEO Andy Schachtel walks through what that looks like in practice, from contracts that come back covered in redlines after a round through ChatGPT, to midsize clients with no AI policy and no audit trail for how AI was used. His core point: the real governance risk isn’t whether an employee was allowed to use a given tool. It’s whether anyone can reconstruct how a conclusion was reached after it has passed through several people, tools, and organizations, each one knowing a little less about how the original analysis was produced.
Schachtel also speaks to what keeps Sourcefit’s approach grounded, including the domain experts who stay in the loop to check AI output before it moves forward, and why a written AI policy means little if the expectations behind it are never made explicit.
