Know if your AI project will actually work — before you pay for it.
Tektari is an independent check on industrial AI decisions. We put a signed baseline and a written pass/fail test on the decision in front of you — with part of our own fee riding on the result.
The operator's discipline for the age of AI.

What you're looking at: the kind of mis-coded record an acceptance test catches — shown on synthetic data. Tektari writes the test and the baseline; your team or your vendor runs the work.
Built and run by a practitioner who scaled a $3.5B contractor's digital-transformation function — not a generic AI consultant.
Three steps, and you can stop after any of them.
Each step stands on its own. No step is a down payment on the next — the charter forbids it.

firewall — audit fees never credit toward training. ever.
The party that diagnoses your AI problem usually sells you the cure.
That's how pilots die unmeasured: the same firm defines the problem, prescribes the treatment, and bills on inputs. Tektari splits the two — a verification line that sells no implementation, and a coaching line that ends in a scored re-test, not a renewal.
- — Diagnosis written by the party that sells the implementation
- — Prompt theory on slideware, no operating context
- — Strategy decks with no baseline and no acceptance test
- — No answer for regulated, audited, safety-critical work
- + Charter-bound: no implementation sold, no vendor commissions
- + A fee tranche at risk against a test your own team can run
- + Proven inside real operations first, taught to you second
- + Trust-but-verify built in; the expert still signs off
Verify, then decide
A sponsor-signed baseline and a written acceptance test on the AI decision in front of you — then drills on your own live calls until your team passes a scored re-test. This is the Problem-Definition Audit and Executive Sparring.

Where do you actually stand?
The Industrial AI Scoreboard: 20 scored questions, a few minutes. You get your score against four published bands, your weakest discipline named, and a short written report by email inside a week — reviewed by a person, not auto-generated. Peer comparison appears only when the qualified pool is large enough to be honest about, with the pool size published every time. The anonymized aggregate becomes the quarterly State of Mid-Market Industrial AI index.

One failed industrial AI pilot, taken apart in public — 60 minutes, every month.
The case is synthetic and clean-room, built from the published failure research. We walk where it broke: the problem statement, the unsigned baseline, the acceptance test nobody wrote. You keep the Go/No-Go Decision Record.
Two lines. Published prices on both.
A verification line that sells no implementation, and a coaching line that ends in a scored re-test — not a renewal.

Problem-Definition Audit
3 weeks. One AI use case, a sponsor-signed baseline metric, and a written vendor acceptance test your team can run without us. $10,000 at kickoff; the final $2,500 is invoiced only when the scoped pilot passes that test — never invoiced if it never runs.
The verification line sells no implementation, takes no vendor commissions or referral fees, and its fees never credit toward any other Tektari offer. Read the Verification Charter → · See a sample assessment →

Executive Sparring Program
Twelve weeks. One 60–90-minute drill a week on your own live AI decisions — this Thursday's vendor meeting, this quarter's AI budget line — against a private sparring agent that carries our interrogation frameworks and runs in your own Claude workspace. Every output blind-scored. It ends in a scored re-test against a published rubric: 25% of the fee is waived if your team doesn't pass, and the remediation cycle is free. You keep the agent. $7,500 solo executive · $24,000 leadership pod (4–6).
