Independence
Disclose relevant funding relationships. Keep assessment fees independent of favorable findings.
About ETE Oversight
AI needs ambition.
And independent scrutiny.
ETE Oversight helps organizations examine the AI they put to work: whether it performs, creates worthwhile value, and remains under effective human control.
Our Mission
Make independent assurance a practical part of AI adoption. We focus on one workflow and a real decision: buying, deploying, expanding, renewing, or changing the system.
Our initial commercial focus is internal knowledge and employee-support workflows in professional-services organizations. We also welcome relevant vendor, adviser, and government partner engagements.
Our Approach
Agree acceptance criteria, examine representative work, and connect findings to the evidence. Distinguish what was observed, documented, asserted, or unavailable. Make limitations and next steps explicit.
Each engagement requires an agreed testing scope, authorized evidence access, and qualified technical review. Assessment design can draw on established references, including the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.

ETE began with a straightforward question: as more organizations build and deploy AI, who independently examines the systems they are relying on?
That question shapes ETE’s direction: independent AI and agent assurance, a defined assessment model, and the specialist partnerships needed for credible evaluation.
The goal is practical: help decision-makers understand what works, what it costs to operate, how people stay in control, and when the evidence needs to be revisited.
The principles behind the work
Evidence
Distinguish observed results, documentation, assertions, and unavailable evidence.
Transparency
Make scope, methods, limitations, and relevant relationships visible.
Accountability
Identify the people responsible for decisions, controls, and next steps.
Practicality
Connect performance, operating value, and control findings to practical decisions.
Continuity
Revisit the evidence as systems, permissions, and intended uses change.
Clarity starts with a conversation
