Integrity
Does policy, workflow and authority behave as intended under normal operation?
AI assurance
Governance Runtime Assurance
A claim-based assurance service for testing whether governance properties remain observable, repeatable and reviewable when AI systems actually execute.
Assurance contract
Define what must remain true.
Runtime assurance begins with a bounded claim. The objective is not to certify intelligence in the abstract, but to test specific governance properties under stated conditions.
Repeatability
Do equivalent conditions produce stable, explainable behaviour and evidence?
Robustness
What happens under incomplete, contradictory, adversarial or out-of-policy inputs?
Provenance
Can material outputs and decisions be traced through the runtime path?
Portability
Do governance properties remain consistent when models or infrastructure change?
Acceptance evidence
Can a reviewer determine exactly what passed, failed or remains unresolved?
Test families
Challenge the boundary, not just the happy path.
Test design can combine baseline, repeated, variant and adversarial cases depending on the claim being assessed.
BaselineExpected workflow under nominal conditions.
RepeatEquivalent reruns for stability and evidence consistency.
VariantControlled changes to inputs, model path or infrastructure.
AdversarialContradictory, boundary-seeking or policy-challenging conditions.
Deliverable
Evidence-led assurance package.
Depending on scope, an assurance engagement can produce a test contract, execution record, comparison results, exceptions, reviewer disposition and a bounded statement of what the evidence supports.
Non-claim
No universal safety guarantee.
Passing a defined test contract does not prove that an AI system is safe under every possible condition. Assurance remains scoped to the claim, environment and evidence actually tested.
Assurance engagement
Bring the governance claim, not just the model.
We can structure the validation question, acceptance criteria and evidence boundary before any execution work begins.
