Dominic-André Leclerc, founder of Nord Paradigm

Dominic-André Leclerc

Dominic spent 21 years in the Royal Canadian Air Force, reaching the rank of Warrant Officer as an avionics systems technician. As an AF9000+ Lead Auditor, he was responsible for quality management compliance across complex aeronautical systems, ensuring that critical processes met rigorous standards with zero margin for error.

That career built something specific: the ability to audit complex systems, identify governance gaps, and build structured remediation plans. When AI began transforming every industry, Dominic recognized that the same discipline was urgently needed. Organizations, especially knowledge-work firms like accounting, law, engineering, and consulting practices, were moving fast, but few understood where the real pressure was coming from or what to prioritize.

Today, that discipline serves a concrete need for marketing agencies: helping their clients understand how AI perceives them, which competitors are better positioned, and what actions to prioritize before producing more content, rebuilding a website, or investing in a new strategy.

Brèche Pro applies an audit logic to AI visibility: observe public signals, compare competitors, identify proof gaps, then translate the analysis into priorities that are useful for a client decision.

Nord Paradigm was founded to bridge that gap. Based in Quebec, the firm combines hands-on AI expertise with aeronautical audit methodology, serving clients in both English and French. We run this entire company augmented by AI, from research and product development to content creation and operations. When we advise you on AI, we speak from daily practice, not theory.

Dominic is currently pursuing three certifications to formalize his AI governance practice: ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer (in progress), ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor (in progress), and IAPP AIGP (in progress).

Breach Is Not Random AI Marketing

“Most businesses don't buy governance first. They buy clarity first. They need to understand where AI is creating pressure in their specific industry before they can make smart decisions about what to do next. That's why Breach exists, and why everything we build connects back to a more mature AI governance journey.”
