A good place to start
AI readiness assessment
A short, focused review of an AI application before or after launch. We look at how it's tested, how changes are released and where the risks are, then give you a clear, prioritized plan.
AI quality engineering
Reliable AI, released with confidence.
Kaladium builds the evaluation rubrics, test frameworks and quality gates that help teams bring AI applications into production with confidence. Our work is delivered by engineers with at least ten years of experience.

The challenge
AI changes how software fails.
Traditional testing assumes the same input produces the same output. AI systems don't always behave that way. Responses vary, models change, and a prompt tweak can quietly break something that worked yesterday.
No clear definition of "good"
Teams ship without agreed criteria for a correct, safe answer.
No safety net for change
A new model or prompt reaches users without anyone measuring the difference.
Testing that doesn't fit
Existing test suites check code paths, not the quality of AI responses.
AI added to systems that already work
Bringing AI into established platforms puts proven workflows at risk without the right gates in place.
Services
What we do
We build the evaluation and testing capabilities teams need to release AI safely and maintain quality as it evolves.
Evaluation rubrics
We work with your product and domain experts to define what a good response looks like, then turn that into clear, scored criteria your team can apply consistently.
AI test frameworks
Automated testing built for non-deterministic systems. It covers accuracy, safety, regressions, agent tool use and data retrieval.
Quality gates and pipelines
Evaluations wired into your delivery pipeline, so every model, prompt or data change is measured before it reaches users.
Senior engineers, embedded
Experienced quality engineers who work alongside your team to build AI testing into your existing development workflow, and leave it in good shape.
Two ways to work with us
Fixed-scope projects
A defined outcome, timeline and price.
Embedded engineers
Senior engineers who work inside your team, on your problems.
How we work
From first conversation to a capability you own.
Understand
We learn how your AI application behaves, who uses it, and where the risks are.
Define
Together we agree what good looks like and turn it into evaluation criteria.
Build
We create the test frameworks and evaluation suites, using real scenarios from your product.
Gate
Evaluations run in your pipeline, so changes are measured before release.
Hand over
Your team owns the capability, with documentation and support to keep it current.
