AI Assurance Advisor · Trust Engineering Consultant

If your AI programme has a trust gap, I can close it.

I help enterprises build AI systems that pass production scrutiny, not just demos — through structured assurance, outcome-based QE transformation, and the governance infrastructure boards can rely on.

The shift

Point-in-time testing is over.
Continuous AI assurance is the new floor.

This is the shift now underway across enterprise AI delivery — from testing bolted onto the end of a release to trust engineered into every stage of it, backed by evidence a board or regulator can rely on.

From

Test as a phase — bolted on after development

To

Trust engineered into every stage, not bolted on

From

AI outputs taken on faith

To

AI outputs verified, evidenced, and defensible to the board and regulator

From

Tooling silos, ad-hoc AI pilots, no audit trail

To

Unified AI-QE platform with built-in governance and audit-ready evidence

Where clients start

Three situations I get called into — all of them about AI

Different seat, same underlying question: is the organisation's AI-led delivery something it can actually stand behind.

"Our AI is live — but can we trust it?"

The board is asking hard questions about reliability, bias, and regulatory exposure — and a compliance audit or a public failure would be costly.

"We've adopted AI tools, but the economics haven't moved."

The operating model needs a reset — not another tool. Test cycles are still slow, defect leakage persists, and the business is asking why AI hasn't made delivery faster or cheaper.

"We're shipping AI features fast — but nobody's testing them like production systems."

Nobody wants to ship the hallucination, the leak, or the jailbreak that makes the news. LLM and agentic features are reaching real users faster than the assurance discipline around them is maturing.

Three pillars

Where I engage

Each pillar can be engaged standalone or combined. Every one maps to work I have personally led and held P&L accountability for.

01 PLATFORM

AI Assurance

Know it won't hallucinate, leak data, or fail silently in front of a customer. For teams shipping LLM features or agentic products — the flagship engagement, built on the TrustQE platform itself.

02 RETAINER

Fractional Head of QE

Senior QE leadership without a full-time hire. An ongoing seat covering operating model, delivery reliability, and AI-led QE strategy.

03 TRANSFORM

AI-led QE Transformation

For practices where AI tools haven't moved the economics yet — or that are starting from zero, built AI-native from day one.

Predictable

Defect leakage and cycle time become forecastable, not guessed.

Accelerated

40%+ throughput gain from AI-native delivery pods.

Responsible

Every release is checked and proven safe before it reaches customers.

Measurable impact

Targeted Benchmarks

40%+

Throughput gain

From the AI-POD operating model — measured across live customer delivery portfolios, not a lab benchmark.

25–30%

Delivery productivity uplift via AI-POD models, embedded into live enterprise programs.

30%+

Reduction in defect leakage — from structural shift-left and autonomous test generation.

20–25%

Cycle-time reduction with continuous AI — autonomous agents integrated directly into the delivery pipeline.

30–35%

Cost reduction from AI-optimized test execution — fewer manual cycles and redundant runs across the QE lifecycle.

<5%

Redundant tests — AI-optimized coverage runs the right tests, not just more of them.

How to start

Four ways to engage

Start where it matters most for your organisation. Each path is a distinct engagement with a clear scope and a defined outcome.

01
1–2 weeks · Fast, structured read

Start with an AI Trust Snapshot

A credible outside view on what needs to happen next — before committing to anything larger.

02
4–6 weeks · Assessment + roadmap

Go Deeper with an AI-QE Diagnostic

A costed transformation roadmap — target operating model and execution sequence, from a structured QE and AI-led delivery assessment.

03
Multi-quarter · AI-QE programme

Anchor an AI-QE Transformation

Delivered through the journey, not handed over as a document. AI-POD delivery, autonomous test generation, Digital QE Twins, platform deployment.

04
Ongoing · Part-time leadership

Engage as Fractional Head of QE / AI Advisor

The P&L discipline of someone who has run the function at enterprise scale. Ongoing leadership across operating model, delivery reliability, and AI assurance strategy.

The platform

TrustQE — AI Quality Engineering Platform

I built TrustQE to make structured AI assurance practical at enterprise scale — seven testing modules, one platform. Web UI and CLI. Provider-agnostic. CI/CD-ready.
