Our Approach

Building Accountability Into Your AI Systems

Our methodology combines rigorous technical analysis with deep understanding of human values. We don't just audit what you've built—we help you build systems you can be proud of.

2

Deep Technical Review

Comprehensive evaluation of models, algorithms, training data, and decision-making processes using both automated tools and expert human judgment.

3

Human Impact Evaluation

Our signature assessment: how your system affects users' dignity, autonomy, and wellbeing. We identify where your AI genuinely cares for humans—and where it falls short.

4

Accountability Framework

We help you build ongoing accountability mechanisms—not just one-time compliance checks. This includes governance structures, monitoring systems, and decision frameworks.

5

Strategic Roadmap

Clear, prioritized recommendations with implementation guidance. We help you build AI systems worthy of trust—not just pass regulatory reviews.

Our Work

Assessment Insights

Examples of what our accountability assessments uncover

Bias in "Neutral" Systems

A healthcare AI system claimed to be unbiased because it didn't use race as a feature. Our assessment revealed proxy discrimination through zip codes and historical access patterns—resulting in systematically worse recommendations for minority populations. The technical audit passed; the human impact assessment didn't.

Transparency Gaps

A lending algorithm provided explanations for decisions, meeting explainability requirements. But our user comprehension testing revealed borrowers couldn't actually understand or contest the reasoning—explanations were technically accurate but practically useless. True transparency requires human comprehension, not just model outputs.

Dignity Violations

An employment screening system flagged candidates for "attitude issues" based on facial expressions during video interviews. While not explicitly biased by protected class, our Human Impact Assessment identified dignity violations—judging character from involuntary microexpressions. No regulation addresses this; ethics demands it.

Examples are illustrative composites based on common patterns in AI deployments, not specific client engagements.

How We're Different

What Makes Our Assessments Unique

Human Impact Assessment Framework

While others stop at bias metrics, we've developed a proprietary framework that evaluates AI systems across dignity preservation, autonomy impact, and wellbeing outcomes. This includes analyzing decision points where AI might undermine human agency, assessing emotional labor imposed on users, and identifying dignity violations that regulations don't capture.

Systems Thinking Methodology

We assess AI in organizational context, not in isolation. This means examining how AI interacts with existing power structures, workflow patterns, and human decision-making processes. We've identified failure modes in AI deployments that purely technical audits miss—like systems that technically "work" but erode trust or create perverse incentives.

Forward-Looking Regulatory Analysis

Our assessments don't just check current compliance. We analyze proposed regulations, enforcement patterns, and emerging standards to identify requirements 12-24 months out. Organizations that work with us avoid the scramble when new rules drop—because we've already flagged the gaps.

Our Commitment

Senior-Level Expertise, Always

Every Neveli engagement is led by senior practitioners with hands-on experience building, deploying, and evaluating AI systems at scale. No junior staff, no rotating teams, no cookie-cutter frameworks. You work directly with the experts who understand both the technical depth and human implications of AI accountability.

Founded on the principle that AI systems should enhance rather than diminish human dignity, we combine rigorous technical analysis with ethical depth. Our work is informed by years of experience across AI development, deployment, and evaluation—ensuring assessments that are both technically sound and genuinely focused on human impact.

Common Questions

What Organizations Ask Us

We tailor access requirements to your security constraints. Meaningful assessments can be conducted using documentation, API outputs, and system behavior analysis. For deeper technical reviews, all work is performed under NDA with appropriate security controls. We've worked with highly regulated organizations requiring air-gapped environments.

Our goal is improvement, not punishment. Findings are delivered confidentially with practical remediation paths. We work collaboratively with your team to address issues before they become crises. Many organizations engage us precisely because they want honest assessment—not validation.

Absolutely. We provide independent third-party assessments of vendor AI systems, partner solutions, and integrator implementations. Whether you're conducting due diligence before procurement, verifying vendor claims, or auditing existing third-party systems, our objective evaluations help you understand risks, ensure compliance, and make informed decisions about your AI ecosystem. Many organizations use our assessments as part of their vendor management and procurement processes.

Yes. We provide detailed methodology documentation, sample deliverables, and can respond to formal RFP requirements. Our assessments meet the documentation standards required by government procurement and large enterprise vendor management processes.

We offer retainer-based advisory for continuous accountability. This includes quarterly reviews, policy updates as regulations evolve, team training, and pre-deployment assessments for new features. Think of it as an accountability function without hiring full-time headcount.

We actively monitor regulatory developments across jurisdictions—EU AI Act, US executive orders, sector-specific rules. Our assessments are forward-looking: we flag not just current gaps but emerging requirements so you're ahead of compliance deadlines, not racing to catch up.

No overhead, no junior staff learning on your dime, no cookie-cutter frameworks. Our team brings hands-on experience building and evaluating AI systems, not just reviewing documentation. Combined with our Human Impact Assessment, you get both technical rigor and ethical depth that traditional audits miss.
