01
Scope the decision
The work starts with the decision you need to make: launch, pilot, enterprise review, board update, diligence, litigation support, or architecture hardening.
Approach
From unclear AI risk to a defensible technical decision.
Use TKOResearch when a launch, diligence review, enterprise security call, or board decision depends on defensible technical judgment and clear supporting artifacts.
Scoping
Start with the decision leadership has to make.
02
Map the system boundary
We identify the users, models, memory, retrieval sources, tools, APIs, credentials, approval gates, logs, and production workflows in scope.
03
Test realistic failure modes
The review focuses on business-relevant abuse cases: prompt injection, indirect instruction paths, unsafe tool use, retrieval leakage, excessive agency, and weak output handling.
04
Deliver a clear package
The final package separates confirmed findings, assumptions, unresolved gaps, practical mitigations, and the leadership decision the work supports.
What you receive
A decision-ready assessment package.
Every engagement produces a primary executive memo plus supporting technical artifacts. The package is designed for leadership action, engineering validation, counsel review, or customer diligence.
- Executive Go/No-Go memo
- Technical findings register
- Architecture and trust-boundary review
- Abuse-case matrix
- Permission or retrieval-boundary matrix where applicable
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Sanitized transcripts, traces, screenshots, or configuration excerpts when useful
When to call
Principal-led review for high-stakes AI deployments.
Use TKOResearch when a launch, pilot, diligence review, board update, enterprise customer review, or legal matter depends on a clear technical basis.
