Independent Evaluations

Evidence that can be inspected.

We test models and agents to help organisations understand their behaviour before or during deployment. Together, we define the system, the setting and the question to investigate. You receive a report explaining what happened, the evidence behind the findings and the limits of the conclusions.

Where we can help

A question grounded
in your setting.

How we work

From the question
to a traceable report.

The system, the setting and the question define the evaluation.

  1. Scope

    Define the system, operating context, risk question and decision boundary.

  2. Design

    Build scenarios and controls that reflect the target setting. Fix the evaluation criteria before the run.

  3. Execute

    Run the system under controlled conditions. Preserve outputs, tool actions and relevant state changes.

  4. Report

    Separate observed results from interpretation. Record limitations and identify the next test when the evidence is incomplete.

What you receive

Findings you can
inspect and use.

A report documenting the system and configuration tested, the evaluation conditions, the observed results and the limits of the conclusions, with links to the preserved evidence.

The scope of the conclusions

Evaluation makes behaviour and limitations inspectable. It does not provide a blanket certification of safety or regulatory approval.
