About Nord Paradigm

Nord Paradigm helps Quebec SMBs and organizations understand what AI changes in their visibility, operations, decisions, and governance.

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 assessed critical processes in environments where evidence, traceability, and discipline were not optional.

That experience shapes Nord Paradigm’s work: read public and internal signals, separate what is demonstrated from what is assumed, then translate the findings into clear priorities for Quebec and Canadian SMBs and organizations.

Free BREACH applies that logic as a fast public-signal diagnostic. BREACH Pro adds documented buyer prompts, observed competitors and sources, human validation, and evidence-backed priorities for the next 90 days. The AI Implementation Partnership turns one priority at a time into a working workflow. Governance and ISO 42001 advisory extend the same discipline into responsibilities, controls, and auditable evidence.

Nord Paradigm is based in Quebec and works in both French and English. The company uses AI daily across research, product development, and operations, while Dominic formalizes his practice through ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Implementer, ISO/IEC 42001 Lead Auditor, and IAPP AIGP.

Clarity before governance.

“Before building AI governance, you first need to understand what AI can read about you, where it creates pressure, and which proof is missing. Breach exists to make that first read clear.”

An audit foundation, adapted to AI.
