Methodology

How we know what we claim.

An evidence company must survive its own scrutiny. Here is what stands behind every number on this site.

Deterministic engines

Engines, not opinions.

Each engine is deterministic: same inputs, same outputs, traceable. We publish how many internal technical gates each engine has passed. Our wording: engine implemented; internal technical gates passed; independent certification pending.

The assurance ladder

What "L3 candidate" means.

Three rungs. Each engine states the highest rung it has reached, and never claims the next. Today six of the eight engines are L3 candidates: built, gated in full internally, and awaiting independent certification. The remaining two — Deal Reality Assurance Twin™ and Turnaround Reality & Recovery Twin™ — are built and in service at L2 while their gate sets are still being written: no count is published until the set is complete.

L1

Engine implemented

The engine is built and deterministic: the same inputs produce the same, traceable outputs.

L2

Internal gates passed

Every internal technical check defined for the engine has been run and passed. The count below is gates passed of gates defined.

L3

Independent certification

External review confirms the engine end to end. Pending across all engines today. An engine reads "L3 candidate" only once its internal gate set is complete; until then it reads L2.

What a gate is. One internal technical check an engine must pass before its output is treated as signed: a reconciliation, a boundary condition, or a determinism and replay test. A count like 48/48 is gates passed of gates defined for that engine.

Intellectual property

The register of marks.

A "™" marks a name we claim as our own; it is not an assertion of a registered trademark. One asset carries one name: where a mark appears on more than one engine, it is the same asset, not a new one. Registration status is a separate legal matter.

The AI governance contract

What AI may, and may not, do.

AI may explain, summarise, translate and draft from signed engine outputs. It cannot calculate authoritative values, select decision states, approve actions or alter audit records.

The evidence standard

What accompanies every claim.

Every value claim carries a baseline, an attribution, an owner and a measurement window. Every pilot carries a scale threshold and stop rules. Every engagement resolves to a Decision Confidence Index with a non-compensatory floor on loss confidence.

Sources and substantiation

Our figures carry their source.

Market figures cited describe market conditions, not Stredge Partners performance.

Every market figure on this site is linked to a retrievable source at the point of use, with the retrieval date and, where one exists, a DOI or standard number. The adoption figures we rely on come from official statistics — Eurostat’s ICT usage in enterprises survey, the US Census Bureau’s Business Trends and Outlook Survey, and the European Central Bank’s Economic Bulletin — and are cited in full on the evidence note From pilot to P&L. We do not cite the widely repeated “95% of pilots fail” figure: its underlying study is not independently retrievable and its method has not been published.
