Build, govern, operate

Three kinds of work, one standard: if a system makes a claim, it should be able to show where the claim came from.

Build

Private, verifiable AI

AI that runs where your data already lives and shows where every answer came from. I build research assistants that cite their sources and check each citation against the retrieved text before an answer is shown.

  • Research assistants over your own documents, on your own hardware or private cloud
  • Every citation checked against the retrieved source before an answer is shown
  • Documents de-identified before any AI tool reads them
  • Evaluation sets written with your experts, so accuracy is measured, not assumed
Govern

AI governance and evaluation

Most organizations already use AI, often without an inventory of which tools touch which data. I map what is in use, test it on your own material, and put technical controls and documentation in place.

  • An inventory of the AI tools in use and the data they touch
  • Risk assessment against recognised frameworks such as the NIST AI RMF
  • Stress tests: fabricated citations, data leakage, behaviour under pressure
  • Vendor diligence before you buy
  • Technical controls, documentation and monitoring

Legal advice on what the law requires is a separate engagement with Kirby Law Office, PLLC.

Operate

Enterprise data and Oracle

AI is only as good as the systems and data beneath it. Since 2003 I have implemented, upgraded, migrated and secured Oracle E-Business Suite and the data platforms around it.

  • Oracle E-Business Suite upgrades, DBA and performance tuning
  • Migration from private data centres to AWS
  • Data warehousing and reporting
  • Database security: encryption, access control and patching
  • Cloud-readiness diligence for acquirers

How engagements work

Start small, then decide

AI Check
A fixed scope and a fixed fee. The easiest way to start.
Project
A defined deliverable, such as a private research assistant or a migration.
Ongoing or contract
Regular hours, or a contract role through Tikor.

The AI Check

  1. Inventory the AI tools your team already uses, and the data they touch.
  2. Test them on your own material: fabricated citations, data leakage, behaviour under pressure.
  3. Written findings and a control plan you can act on.

Fixed fee, quoted after a 30-minute call.
