Research for decisions that can’t rely on surface-level analysis.

Engagements begin with a defined decision, evidence requirement, and audience – not a predetermined methodology or generic strategy framework.

Typical outputs: Entity mapping, source dossiers, due diligence, risk assessments, and structured datasets.
Analysis of how AI systems are procured, evaluated, deployed, and monitored – and where high-level requirements fail in practice.
Typical outputs: Assurance frameworks, evaluation reviews, governance gap assessments, recommendations, and workshops.
