Why this matters

Behind every unvalidated AI decision is a person who trusted the system.

What we believe

Trust isn’t a feature. It’s an obligation.

Organizations that deploy AI owe something to the people affected by it: proof that the system is fair, explainable, and aligned with human values. Not a promise. Not a policy document. Proof. That’s what we provide.

Structural independence

We don't sell software to the companies we evaluate. No consulting relationship, no platform license, no conflict of interest. The independence regulators and procurement committees require.

Diagnosis + prescription

Not just a score — the root cause, the exact fix, and the projected improvement. causal attribution decomposes every finding to the specific variables driving it.

Streamlined evaluation

Upload your AI's input-output data and receive independent evaluation with causal decomposition and prescriptive remediation. Engagement scoped to your systems, jurisdictions, and risk profile.

The independence question

You wouldn’t let a student grade their own exam.

The organizations building AI governance tools are doing important work. But when the same company selling you the software also evaluates your compliance, the independence a regulator needs isn’t there. Independence isn’t a feature you can add to a platform. It’s a structural relationship between the evaluator and the evaluated. We built AVAAS around that principle.

GOVERNANCE PLATFORMS
Inventory AI systems. Classify risks. Build policies. Essential — but the vendor selling the software is grading its own test.
CONSULTING AUDITORS
Genuine independence. Rigorous evaluation. But weeks per engagement and limited by human throughput.
YOUR INTERNAL TEAM
Tests for bias. Validates accuracy. Documents compliance. Critical — but internal testing isn't independent testing.
AVAAS
Independent validation. Causal decomposition. Prescriptive remediation. Patent-protected capabilities.

What you receive

A certification report your regulator will actually read.

Not a 200-page compliance document that sits in a drawer. A clear, structured evaluation with a letter grade, causal analysis, and specific fixes designed to be shared with regulators, boards, and customers.

LETTER GRADE
Every evaluation produces a clear grade.
A
Unconditional certification. No findings above advisory level. Your system meets every applicable standard.
B
Certified with conditions. Findings require remediation within 90 days. Certification valid during the remediation period.
F
Not certified. Critical findings. System should not be deployed in its current form.
REPORT CONTENTS
Every report contains six sections.
Executive summary — overall grade, key metrics, validator consensus, and regulatory coverage at a glance.
Findings — each issue with severity, description, applicable regulation, and dimension scores across Irreversibility Index, Harm-of-Inaction Scoring, and Living Constitution alignment.
Causal attribution — which specific variables drive each finding, with contribution percentages.
Prescriptive remediation — the exact fix for each finding, with projected improvement after implementation.
Regulatory mapping — every finding mapped to applicable frameworks across all relevant jurisdictions.
Certification statement — digitally signed, publicly verifiable, with validity period and registry ID.

Where AVAAS fits

AI governance has many layers. We work at the one where AI reaches a person.

A growing set of tools governs AI, and most of them do necessary work. Each answers a different question, at a different layer of the system. AVAAS starts from a different place than the rest. Not from the model, the paperwork, or the process, but from the person a decision lands on, and whether the system can be trusted at the moment it decides.

THE ORGANIZATION
Management-system and process standards
Frameworks like ISO 42001 and the NIST AI RMF certify that an organization has policies, roles, and governance processes in place. They ask whether you are managing AI responsibly as a company. This is the floor, and it is a real one. It does not measure how any given system behaves.
THE OPERATIONS
Internal governance and monitoring platforms
Governance platforms help a company inventory its models, track risk, and monitor systems in production. They are the deployer’s own instrument panel, and they are valuable. Being the tool a company runs on itself, they answer to that company, not to the people its AI affects.
THE DECISION · WHERE AVAAS WORKS
Independent certification of behavior at the point it reaches a person
AVAAS evaluates how a system actually behaves at the decision point, where liability lands and harm originates. Across four surfaces, the training corpus, the base model, the agent as configured, and the deployment environment, we produce documented, third-party evidence of conformity to a published standard. The grade answers to the standard and to the public, not to the operator paying for the evaluation. This is the layer the others leave open.

We are not the only ones who believe AI needs independent evaluation, and we are glad for that. The difference is our focus. Every layer above governs the system. We stand with the people impacted by the decision.

Let’s talk about what your AI owes the people it affects.

Every conversation starts with understanding your systems, your values, and the people your AI touches. No obligation, no pitch deck — just a conversation about what responsible deployment looks like for your organization.
