Our POV

The failures that damage a brand are rarely the rarest ones. They are the failures that happen in front of customers, in high-volume moments, in ways people screenshot and share.

Ranking by probability alone sends teams to fix the wrong things. Ranking by frequency and consequence together sends them to the failures that actually matter.

What We Do

Test adversarially and at the edges. Real workflows pushed into the conditions where the system is least reliable, including the inputs a frustrated or hostile user would try.

Catalogue what we find. The specific prompts, inputs and outputs that fail, documented precisely enough for engineering to reproduce.

Rank by frequency and brand risk. So guardrails get built for the failures that will be seen, rather than the ones that are merely interesting.

What We'll Deliver

  • Catalogue of reproducible failure cases with exact inputs

  • Severity ranking by frequency and brand or regulatory consequence

  • Analysis of the conditions that produce each failure

  • Guardrail and mitigation recommendations in priority order

  • Regression cases your team can run on every release

  • A summary suitable for risk, audit or board reporting

When This is Essential

  • Before launching an AI feature to a large or public audience

  • When a failure has already been seen publicly and the extent is unknown

  • When risk, audit or legal need evidence of what can go wrong

  • Before a model or vendor change that could alter behaviour

  • When guardrails exist but nobody has tested them adversarially
