Our Technical Approach to AI Systems Assessment

At Airside Labs, we combine industry-leading evaluation techniques with customised testing protocols to provide comprehensive assessments of AI systems for regulated industries. Our methodology is built on three core pillars: rigorous technical evaluation, regulatory alignment, and practical risk assessment.

Framework overview

Our evaluation framework draws inspiration from state-of-the-art approaches like the UK AI Safety Institute's Inspect framework, while incorporating specialised components for regulated industries. Similar to Inspect, our evaluations are built on three essential components: Datasets, Solvers, and Scorers that work together to provide standardised assessments of AI capabilities. 

Core Evaluation Components

Customised Test Datasets

  • Industry-specific test cases developed with domain experts
  • Regulatory compliance scenarios based on current legislation
  • Edge case detection designed for your specific deployment context
  • Multi-modal testing across text, image, and structured data inputs

Rigorous Testing Protocols

  • Standardised benchmarks for comparative analysis
  • Adversarial testing to identify vulnerabilities
  • Red teaming by industry specialists
  • Longitudinal testing to measure performance drift

Comprehensive Scoring System

  • Quantitative metrics for technical performance
  • Compliance alignment scoring for regulatory requirements
  • Risk categorisation based on industry standards
  • Human expert verification of critical outputs

How It Works - CI/CD Integration for Continuous AI Governance

We understand that AI evaluation cannot be a one-time event in regulated industries. Our tooling seamlessly integrates with your existing development infrastructure to enable continuous evaluation throughout your AI development lifecycle.
