Who checks the checker.

Potestas AI does one thing: it tests AI systems from the outside, for the people who have to rely on them, and puts what it finds on the record. Including its own mistakes.

Who signs the work

Joseph Cirello, founder of Potestas AI.

Joseph Cirello

Founder · the name on every report
  • US Army, Senior Warrant Officer (Ret.), 25 years
  • Active Secret clearance
  • Before that, accounting: two trades with one rule, you do not take the supplier’s word for it
  • Providence, Rhode Island

He built the testing instrument, runs its tests, and publishes its errors beside the models’. He takes no money from the maker of a model to grade that model, and sells nothing of theirs.

How the company is built

Small on purpose. One accountable person signs every finding, and the instrument does the volume: 258 live scenarios and a 400-turn battery, run the same way every time, graded from the record rather than from anyone’s opinion. When a turn needs a human, the human who rules on it is the one whose name is on the report.

Cleared work. For classified, ITAR-sensitive or high-assurance environments, engagements are staffed through an established network of TS/SCI and polygraph-cleared personnel, scoped per contract.

A Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, registered and active in SAM.gov.
