Team
An independent measurement lab. We measure what AI systems do under pressure, and whether what they report about their own work can be relied on. We take no funding from the vendors we measure. These are the people accountable for what we publish.
Our method and our published papers are open: Publications · Our work
Leadership
SILT is deliberately small. Every measurement we publish is produced, checked and signed off by the people on this page — which is also why we publish our method and our limits alongside our figures rather than after someone asks.
Shawn Scanlon
Cofounder & Chief Executive Officer
Founded SILT to answer a question the capability benchmarks do not ask: not whether an AI system can do the work, but whether what it reports about its own work can be relied on.
Directs the lab's measurement programme and its publication policy — methodology published before figures, every rate reported with its denominator, and no vendor funding accepted.
Kris Schiffer
Cofounder & Chief Operating Officer
Cofounder of Sentient Index Labs & Technology. Responsible for the company's technical operations and corporate records, including domain infrastructure, mail authentication and intellectual-property filings.
Maria Carranza
Director of Partnerships
Leads outreach to assurance practices, law firms and insurers — the institutions that carry the consequences when an AI system is trusted further than the evidence supports.
The Entity
Sentient Index Labs & Technology, LLC is a limited liability company organised in New Mexico, United States. It takes no funding from the vendors whose systems it measures, and it performs no commissioned evaluation for a model developer — the independence claim is a constraint on our revenue, not a slogan.
