Guardrails & evaluation design
We design the evals, guardrails and audit trail that let you show what your AI actually did.
What it is
First we agree what behaving actually means for your system — in cases specific enough to test, not principles. Then we build the evaluations that check it, the guardrails that stop the failure modes you cannot accept, and the traces and audit logs that evidence both.
The result is a release bar: a system either clears it or it does not ship, and the record of that decision survives long enough to show someone later.
New builds, not just existing ones
This is cheaper and stricter designed in than retrofitted. If you are building something now, the evaluations can define the target before there is anything to evaluate — which is the only point at which secure by design costs nothing.
What you get
- An evaluation suite tied to your actual failure cases
- Guardrail design for the failures you cannot accept
- Traces and audit logs wired into your stack
- A release bar, and the evidence that a system cleared it
When it fits
- You cannot currently answer what your AI did last Tuesday
- You are designing a new AI system and want the controls in from the start
- An auditor, regulator or customer needs more than your assurance
