Assertion Labs / Advisory
Technical judgment for consequential decisions.
Independent evaluation of software, security and technical claims. Engagements bring research experience to architecture reviews, due diligence and questions that require deeper investigation.
Initial engagement
Technical Risk & Evidence Diagnostic
What can we substantiate about this system, where are the important unknowns, and what should we examine next?
AI agent authorization & trust boundaries
Examine how AI applications access data, exercise authority and interact with other systems. Evaluate the architecture and the evidence behind its security claims.
Executive & board briefings
Clear technical context for consequential decisions. Focused preparation, a concise written brief, and a discussion of the questions management should be able to answer.
Evidence-backed architecture & security diligence
Examine a product’s architecture, security claims and technical assumptions before a consequential investment, acquisition or product decision.
Provenance & auditability engineering
Design evidence lineage and decision records so a team can explain which source, policy and approval supported an action, and what changed afterward.
Specialized security research & technical R&D
Bounded investigations, analysis prototypes and independent evaluation in program analysis, compilers, formal methods and AI-enabled software systems.
How we work
Begin with a bounded question.
- Define the decision, boundaries, conflicts and available evidence.
- Agree on the work, deliverables, access and review process.
- Examine claims and record findings with their limitations.
- Discuss implications and the next decision.
