Controlled cases and prompt and evidence variants generate recorded test runs, which receive separate schema, reference, and decision checks before a regression report.

Build an AI Context Sensitivity Test Harness in Python

Published September 22, 2026 by Paul Bryant

Build a runnable Python harness with complete companion files, deterministic fixtures, and independent grading checks. Test controlled context variations before connecting a read-only application.

Two context layouts contain the same evidence and policy; independent decision checks compare their recorded decisions and assess whether any change is justified.

AI Context Sensitivity: Same Evidence, Different Decisions

Published September 22, 2026 by Paul Bryant

Test whether irrelevant context changes alter an AI decision. Preserve task, evidence, and policy while distinguishing genuine behavioral differences from changed settings or grading defects.

Isolated tests with fault injection and evidence checks precede bounded production; live outcomes, exceptions, and review feed reassessment of authority and scope.

AI Agent Evaluation: A Passing Test Is Not Production Proof

Published September 21, 2026 by Paul Bryant

Evaluate the complete agent release and its enforcement boundaries. Use fault injection, independently checked outcomes, and explicit limits when introducing production authority.

AI use case evaluation starts with a business problem, compares simpler solutions, applies hard gates, and chooses a bounded pilot or a non-AI path.

Should This Be AI? A Decision Framework for Enterprise Use Cases, Business Value, and Pilot Gates

Published September 19, 2026 by Paul Bryant

Start AI use case evaluation with a measurable workflow problem. Compare simpler alternatives, apply hard gates, model complete costs, and design a bounded pilot that can disprove the investment thesis.

Protected evidence feeds three AI reviewers whose quorum decision remains advisory; a deterministic authority gate decides whether to deny, hold, or execute.

When Two AI Reviewers Agree: Building Assurance Quorums Without False Independence

Published September 19, 2026 by Paul Bryant

Multiple AI reviewers can share the same mistake. Design assurance quorums with isolated judgments, protected evidence, deterministic vetoes, and measured marginal value.
