Aperture Research Works

For CTOs, SaaS buyers, operating partners and technology investors

Know which AI claims actually apply to the product you are buying.

A vendor has quoted accuracy, safety, cost savings or model capability statistics that your team is expected to rely on.

A benchmark result may use a different model, test population or operating environment than your proposed deployment.

A real person scopes, researches, checks and signs off the evidence work. Technology assists; it does not approve findings.

The decision on your desk

Approve the vendor’s claims for this use case, require more proof or stop the procurement?

Your organisation is close to approving an AI supplier whose sales deck promises accuracy and savings with limited method disclosure.

YOUR BENEFIT 01

Stop unrelated benchmark scores from being treated as deployment proof.

YOUR BENEFIT 02

Identify the one or two missing tests worth requiring before signing.

YOUR BENEFIT 03

Give decision-makers a clear written basis for challenging an AI sales claim.

The actual work

What our people will examine for you.

Each line connects to a material question in your decision. We test what the record supports and what it does not, rather than producing a generic AI summary.

CHECK 01

Freeze the exact promise, product version, deployment configuration and intended use.

CHECK 02

Check benchmark design, denominators, comparator, date and data leakage controls.

CHECK 03

Separate the provider’s own evidence from independently reproducible results.

CHECK 04

Review disclosed failure modes, human oversight requirements and data-use claims.

CHECK 05

Test simple savings and error-rate calculations against their stated assumptions.

CHECK 06

Prepare concrete vendor evidence requests and go/no-go conditions for the buyer.

Your deliverables

A completed dossier your team can act on.

We turn the collected evidence into named findings, identified gaps and next actions. A human reviewer remains accountable for the scope, interpretation and release.

  • Vendor-claim evidence matrix, up to ten claims
  • Benchmark and method limitations memo
  • Data and operating-dependency question list
  • Quantitative assumption and denominator checks
  • Unresolved-risk register and procurement conditions
  • Human-reviewed buyer-facing assessment

Questions that matter to your purchase

Is the $2,950 fee fixed?

It is the proposed standard fee for the defined scope, pending final written commercial approval. We confirm the actual facts, jurisdiction, records, permitted work and final terms in writing before accepting it. We never add unapproved work to the bill.

Can I use my own AI system instead?

You can use AI for a preliminary review. What you commission here is human-directed independent source work, documented contrary-evidence testing, dated attribution, reviewed calculations and a defensible evidence handoff. If your internal process can already do that adequately, there may be no reason to buy this service.

Can you investigate a confidential matter?

Start with a short non-sensitive outline. A human reviewer confirms conflict checks, lawful source access, privacy safeguards and an appropriate transfer method before we receive confidential files.

Can my team use the review repeatedly?

Yes, subject to each matter being accepted. Repeat matters may use a reusable written scope and simpler onboarding, where appropriate. Each matter retains its standard approved fee and separate acceptance; no automatic discount or subscription applies.
