The independence guarantee.

Payment buys the work. It does not buy the verdict.

  1. No client has editorial approval.
  2. No client can suppress findings.
  3. No client can purchase a positive outcome.

The same standard. The same methodology. The same honesty — whether the result is positive, negative, or somewhere in between.

06

One rig.One operator.One standard.

The consistency is the point — every verdict runs through the same hands.

Founder · Sole tester

Every test — first contact to final verdict — is created, run and written by one operator. No outsourcing, no junior testers, no delegation. That's the only way results stay comparable across every tool on the rig.

If I didn't run every test myself, I couldn't stand behind a single verdict.

FAQs.

Straight answers to common questions.

Can the verdict be influenced by payment?
No. If your tool fails, the report says so, in plain language, with the evidence behind it. That's the independence guarantee above, and it's unconditional.
What exactly does the £249 cover?
A human verdict, not an automated score — I take the hit so you don't have to. You're paying for methodology, not hours: the same four-phase methodology behind every public CTAI verdict, evidence-based scoring (not vibes), and specific examples of what fails under pressure. Every commissioned test follows the same evidence-led methodology: claim, test, evidence, analysis and verdict. The methodology behind it took 6 months to build. No tiers, no upsells — one price, one deliverable.
Who actually runs the test — and how?
Woody runs every test personally, using the identical four-phase methodology behind every public CTAI verdict — Initial Impact, Stress Testing, Observe & Document, and Verdict & Report. Same hands, same standard, every time.
What if I'm evaluating a tool I don't own or build?
That's one of the two main use cases. You don't need to own or have built the tool — you just need to provide access (a free tier, a paid account, or credentials). The report is yours for internal decisions, procurement, due diligence, or investor conversations.
Can I use the report publicly or in my marketing?
If you opt for the public report when you apply, yes — it's published on CTAI like any other crash test, pass or fail, and you can reference, link and quote it freely. Private reports are internal-only and can't be published without agreement; you can ask to switch a private report to public after delivery.
How detailed is the testing brief I need to provide?
The more context, the more targeted the test. At minimum: the tool, how to access it, and your primary use case. Specific workflows, edge cases and known issues to verify make the report far more useful — a good brief answers the exact questions that matter to your decision.
What happens after I apply?
If a slot's available, I confirm the booking, agree scope, and send an invoice — testing begins once payment clears. Nothing is taken from the application alone; you're not committed until you receive and pay the invoice. No slot? We'll offer to hold your place in the queue.
