Start with a briefing for board-level risk, or move directly into assessment, retainer, expert review, or training when the scope is already clear.

Productized certification

AgentBoundary Certified — procurement-grade robustness testing for AI agents.

Independent adversarial testing against 51 prompt-injection scenarios with active-execution scoring and optional public verification. Fixed-fee tiers from $6,500.

Startup office hours

One free 60-minute consultation for startups.

Bring one focused question about an AI system, product security, launch readiness, customer review, or technical roadmap. One session per company; formal assessments, written reports, and follow-on work are scoped separately.

Best fit: early-stage teams with a specific decision to make and enough context to use a focused working session.

01

Board advisory and executive briefings

Clear technical context for oversight, risk appetite, and go-forward decisions.

An independent advisory path for boards and executive teams that need recurring technical context—not only a one-time briefing—on AI systems, security posture, vendor claims, launch readiness, and material changes.

What you get
A pre-brief intake, scheduled board or executive sessions, concise written context, decision questions, and an optional recurring cadence.
How it is priced
Briefings are fixed-fee from $7,500. Ongoing board advisory is scoped around cadence, access, materials, and reporting.

02

AI red-team and agent assessment

Adversarial testing for AI agents and LLM-based systems.

Prompt-injection testing, memory-poisoning analysis, adversarial path modeling, and toolchain-manipulation research for systems moving toward production access.

Common scopes include AI agent production-readiness review, MCP/tool-use blast-radius review, AI-assisted CI/CD workflow review, RAG boundary review, and AgentBoundary certification readiness.

What you get
Scoped rules of engagement, hands-on adversarial assessment, a prioritized artifact-backed report, and a findings debrief.
How it is priced
Fixed-fee outcome, scoped to the system boundary and decision you need to make.

03

Fractional security and systems advisory

Senior technical judgment without a full-time executive hire.

A recurring advisory relationship for startups and growing teams that need a Principal Engineer in the room for product security, AI-system decisions, customer review, and roadmap tradeoffs.

What you get
A defined monthly access window, recurring review of architecture and customer materials, leadership meeting preparation, and written decision notes as scoped.
How it is priced
Monthly retainer, scoped to access, cadence, response expectations, and system complexity.

04

Expert review and expert witness

Independent technical review when it has to hold up.

Independent technical review, high-assurance attestation, and litigation support for matters where the analysis must withstand scrutiny.

What you get
Independent assessment, clear written findings, litigation support where appropriate, and direct communication with counsel or leadership.
How it is priced
Scoped per engagement. Expert-witness hourly rates are not published.

05

Workshops and training

A day of deep expertise for your team.

Hands-on upskilling on AI-security threats and defenses for security teams and leadership, tuned to your stack and operating context.

A tailored agenda, a live working session, practical exercises, and materials your team keeps.

Fixed day rate, from $5,000 / day.

On pricing

Published entry points for defined engagements.

Briefings and workshops have published starting prices because the scope is standardized. Assessments, retainers, and advisory work depend on system complexity, access, urgency, and required deliverables, so they are quoted after a short scoping call. When the outcome can be clearly defined, we prefer fixed-fee engagements.
