Red Teaming Methodology & Tooling
Design threat models and evaluation methods. Document them well enough for another team to reproduce the work later.
Work with us
Research Affiliates Program
Syntony invites researchers, security specialists, and policy practitioners to join defined projects. The work covers AI evaluation and governance, along with related policy and strategic risk questions.
Affiliate projects
Syntony brings affiliates into projects when the research question needs expertise beyond the core team. The work may produce a paper, evaluation method, governance design, policy analysis, or risk forecast.
Affiliates may co-author public research or contribute to confidential client work with frontier labs, public-sector organizations, and enterprise teams. We invite affiliates based on the expertise a project requires and their availability.
Written project scope
The research question, responsibilities, deliverables, timeline, and authorship terms are agreed for each project.
Reusable methods
Projects should leave behind a method that can be reused or evidence that can support later evaluation and governance work.
Publication and credit
Where the project and confidentiality terms allow, affiliates publish under their own names with editorial support from Syntony.
A defined audience
Each project identifies who needs the result and what question the work must help that reader answer.
Research focus areas
Where we collaborate
Governance Architecture

Translate evaluation findings and risk evidence into policy analysis for public authorities and international counterparts.
AI Risk Forecasting
Develop scenarios and capability forecasts that use evaluation evidence alongside expert judgment.
Synthetic Media & IHL
Study how synthetic media incidents can be verified and attributed, including the international humanitarian law questions they raise.
