Red Teaming Methodology & Tooling
Evaluation design, threat modeling, evidence taxonomies, and the tooling that makes adversarial work reproducible.
Work with us
Research Affiliates Program
Project-based collaboration on governance and risk research. We build a network of researchers, security specialists, and policy practitioners who do work that lands in a decision.
What this program is
Syntony collaborates with researchers, security specialists, and policy practitioners on a project basis. Affiliates contribute to publications, co-author research, and gain visibility through our work with frontier labs, public sector clients, and enterprise deployments.
This is not a fellowship and not a job board. It is a network we draw on when a research question needs a specific kind of expertise and when an expert wants their work to ship into governance, evaluation, or risk decisions rather than sit on a preprint server.
Project-based collaboration
Scoped projects with co-authorship, attribution, and a clear deliverable. Compensation aligned to scope.
Methodology-first
We focus on evaluation methodology, governance architecture, policy analysis, and strategic risk forecasting. Work that compounds.
Visibility through publication
Affiliates publish under their own name. Syntony provides editorial support, distribution, and access to client problems.
Decision-relevant outputs
Research is scoped so the result can be picked up by a reviewer, regulator, or operator and acted on.
Research focus areas
Where we collaborate
Governance Architecture
Decision rights, escalation triggers, control libraries, and the structures that make oversight actually function.
Policy & International Security
Translating evaluation findings and risk evidence into policy artifacts that hold up in front of a regulator or counterpart.
AI Risk Forecasting
Scenario design, capability trajectories, and the integration of evaluation evidence into forward-looking risk models.
Synthetic Media & IHL
Synthetic media incidents, verification workflows, and the international humanitarian law questions they raise.
Systems & Feedback Intelligence
Causal mapping, system dynamics, and the feedback structures behind real-world AI deployments.
