Most organizations should begin with a Launch Decision Audit. Retainers and advisory work begin only after deployment readiness has been independently assessed.
Recommended first step

Launch Decision Audit

Independent pre-deployment risk review for regulated or high-stakes AI systems.

Who this is for

Regulated startups preparing for first deployment. Enterprise AI teams seeking formal deployment approval. Boards and executives requiring independent third-party risk review.

This audit is the first control for high-stakes AI deployment decisions. We do not optimize models. We determine whether deployment is defensible.

Expected outcome

A documented yes / no deployment decision supported by explicit risk controls and audit-ready evidence for regulators, auditors, boards, and investors.

Process

How an Engagement Works

A fixed-scope audit from first contact to board-ready evidence in three steps.

1

Scoping Call

30-minute paid diagnostic. We define the system boundary, risk exposure, and what a defensible deployment decision requires for your context.

2

Independent Audit

2–4 week fixed-scope review. Risk identification, uncertainty quantification, control mapping, and explicit documentation of failure modes.

3

Deployment Decision

A documented yes/no decision with audit-ready evidence for regulators, boards, investors, and procurement teams. No ambiguity.

When Independent Review Becomes Necessary

Independent review is designed for regulated and high-stakes AI systems where accountability, evidence, and deployment risk matter.

When to engage us

An AI system is approaching deployment in a regulated environment

A board or executive committee requires independent risk validation

A contract, partnership, or procurement process requires accountability evidence

A regulator, auditor, or investor asks who is accountable for the system and its outcomes

An internal team cannot confidently explain what happens if the model is wrong

Why this matters: If AI decisions affect safety, liability, or regulatory exposure, delaying independent review increases organizational risk.

TeraSystemsAI
Environmental Intelligence

An environmental intelligence system that turns environmental evidence into trustworthy, evidence-bounded interpretation. Not a dashboard. A deterministic reasoning engine.

Built on the Environmental Concordance Framework (ECF): 116 PM2.5 episodes across 4 years, interpreted from certified EPA monitoring data. When evidence is insufficient, the system abstains. 22% principled abstention rate.

Our Foundation

Built on transparency,
rigor, and accountability

Every engagement is guided by a simple operating principle: safety-critical AI must be reviewed to a high standard before it reaches real-world deployment.

  • Safety-first review
  • Transparency in assumptions and evaluation
  • Independent judgment
  • Quantified uncertainty

We build systems where assumptions, evaluation, and operational constraints are explicit.

Our work focuses on safety engineering, uncertainty reporting, and transparency so organizations can make defensible decisions about when and how AI should be used.
