Put the idea to work
Agent Trust Assessment
What evidence would justify the next step?
- Evidence
- What shows it works?
- Human review
- Where is judgment needed?
- Accountability
- Who owns the outcome?
Make sense of the system.
Then make it work.

Featured framework
Make the work visible
A framework for understanding what really happens.
Explore the frameworkStart with a real question
Something you can put to work.
01
Agent Trust Assessment
Find the gaps between an agent that works and one people can rely on.
02
AI Project Reality Check
Turn an ambitious AI idea into a small, testable hypothesis.
03
Agent vs. Automation
Work out whether you need a process fix, automation, AI assistance, or a bounded agent.
Inside the experiments
Change a requirement.
See the system change.
Explore how context, actions, and human review shape an AI workflow. An interactive model for asking better architecture questions.
Open the Architecture ExplorerWhat changes when the agent can act?
Move from recommendations to actions, and inspect the controls that belong with them.

Matthew Davis
I work at the intersection of AI, data, systems, and transformation. This is where I turn what I’ve learned into frameworks, experiments, and tools you can use.
