Methodological stress-testing
Put assumptions, outputs and safeguards under pressure.
AI work & support
The professional translation of methodological work on scope, authority, provenance and revision.
This page presents the AI-specialized part of the Aksoydan Laboratory’s professional offering. The general presentation is available under Work / Services.
Principle
We assess not only what an AI system can do, but also what it is justified in doing, with which information, within what scope, and with what actual capacity for revision.
AI RESEARCH ≠ AI OFFERING.
Areas of work
Usage permissions and authority
Distinguish capability, permission, authority and action.
Provenance and descendants
Track sources, dependencies and the effects of corrections.
Revisability
Examine actual updating rather than merely its declaration.
Framing and human agency
Make visible the decisions that must remain human.
AI system review
Examine prototypes, copilots and agents in their context of use.
One format among others
The AI Usage Permission Diagnostic is one possible format among several. The scope may also take the form of a methodological review, a stress test, provenance mapping or an examination of revisability.
How the work begins
- Define the situation, decision or use to be examined.
- Identify what the system can currently do.
- Identify what it is permitted to do in this context.
- Examine provenance, refusals, descendants, revision and scope.
- Test relevant edge cases and perturbations.
- Report observed gaps and bounded recommendations.
What you can bring
A scenario, a prototype, documentation, prompts, business rules, traces, examples of decisions or problematic cases. The scope is defined before the examination so that available information can be distinguished from what is missing.
What the work may produce
- a map of capabilities and authorities;
- stress-test scenarios;
- a register of points requiring attention;
- an analysis of provenance and descendants;
- revision recommendations;
- a methodological report;
- correction priorities.
POSSIBLE DELIVERABLE ≠ GUARANTEED RESULT.
Safeguards
DIAGNOSTIC ≠ CERTIFICATION.
OBSERVED GAP ≠ ILLEGALITY.
COMPLIANCE GUARD ≠ OVERALL SECURITY.
A methodological review is neither a legal or regulatory audit nor a cybersecurity audit. It does not replace the necessary scientific, legal, regulatory or security expertise.
