Frontier AI, independently evaluated.

A data-sovereign evaluation lab in boutique format — senior depth instead of crowd, sensitive material processed on-premises under NDA. Paired with CTC Research Lab: five workstreams on trustworthy evaluation and multi-agent safety, run on a single 32 GB GPU.

Stylised render — run shape and numbers from the measured W2 pilot; output format illustrative.

CTC AI Operations

Evaluation you can re-run.

Root-level evaluation of how frontier models reason, where they fail, and whether their behaviour holds under pressure — judged by a senior practitioner, not distributed annotation.

Core practice

Root-level model evaluation

Logic, correctness, robustness — assessed at the level of reasoning, not surface output. Grounded in deterministic execution facts, scored against frozen, content-hashed rubrics.

Deliverable

Reproducible audit artifacts

Pinned configurations and hashes — a verdict you can re-derive months later, defensible in an audit.

Signal quality

RLHF & preference-data quality

Evaluation of the training signal itself, not only the model's responses.

Data integrity

Dataset QA & annotation audits

Consistency, bias, and coverage gaps across labelled data — found before they train.

Adversarial

Agentic safety & red-team audits

Behaviour under adversarial conditions and open-ended tool use — findings you can act on, reproduced, prioritised.

CTC Research Lab

Every mandate feeds the method.
The method sharpens every mandate.

Operations asks whether a given model is safe and correct; the Research Lab asks how that can be measured and proven at all — two units, deliberately built to reinforce each other.

Industrial practice supplies the empirical access pure academics lack; the Lab supplies the methodological depth pure vendors don't offer.

Can frontier and multi-agent AI systems be evaluated trustworthily, reproducibly, and cheaply on sovereign commodity hardware — a single 32 GB GPU rather than a datacentre?

Infrastructure

Data custody you can inspect.

Confidentiality is structural — so the stack itself is the trust signal. Sensitive material is processed on-premises, inside a hardened sandbox, on hardware we own.

The sovereign evaluation stack. Sensitive material never leaves owned hardware; cloud arbitration is sampled, for calibration, and never carries client data.

Why CTC

Built like the papers:
checkable.

01

Industry and research under one roof

Operational evaluation access that pure academics lack, paired with methodological depth pure vendors don't offer.

02

Data sovereignty by design

On-premises processing under strict NDA. The value is demonstrable data custody, not raw compute.

03

Senior depth, not crowd

Evaluation carried out by a principal practitioner — depth and judgement over distributed volume.

04

Claims you can check

Every research claim is a falsifiable criterion, labelled measured or predicted — including on this page.

05

NDA discipline

Confidentiality is structural. Client identities stay private; references remain in the abstract.

06

Interdisciplinary founder DNA

Deep AI craft paired with a finance- and capital-markets mindset — the "Code → Capital" thesis.

++
Model & growth thesis

CODE → CAPITAL

From the engine room of model evaluation into a dedicated wealth- and reinvestment architecture.

PHASE I active core practice · entity in formation

AI Operations & Research Lab

The evaluation practice and CTC Research Lab's five-workstream program. The senior-evaluation core is delivered today by the founder under mandate for leading AI labs — the company is being formed around that practice.

PHASE II year 2 · in preparation

CTC Advisory

Secure-by-design IT infrastructure, RAG systems, and professional client presences for the DACH mid-market.

PHASE III target state · separate entity

CTC Wealth

Reinvestment and wealth architecture — license-compliant in its own regulated structure.

Code to Capital, Inc. is the umbrella entity in formation. CTC AI Operations is the commercial practice — carried today by the founder's senior mandates; CTC Research Lab is the applied-research unit on the same infrastructure.

Leadership

Two seats, one thesis.

Founder & CEO · Principal Investigator

Marian E. Arenskrieger

Owns the evaluation practice, the Research Lab, the transfer of live mandates into the entity, the structural and tax setup, and the long-term capital architecture.

Let's evaluate
what's possible.

Open to evaluation mandates and collaborations with leading AI labs. Engagements are scoped under NDA and processed locally.
