High-rigor advisory and implementation support for evidence-heavy work.

Measurement-validity & EU AI Act advisory

Scientific credibility for the instruments you ship - without hiring a full-time psychometrician.

Ed-tech, HR-tech, assessment, coaching, and well-being companies whose personality, skills, or well-being instruments need a defensible scientific footing, including under the EU AI Act's documented-validity and bias expectations.

What it delivers

• A named senior psychometric advisor whose credentials you can cite
• Instrument and scoring review: item quality, reliability, factor structure, differential item functioning and bias, and measurement invariance across the groups you deploy to
• Review and sign-off of the validity claims you make about your instruments
• A standing validity dossier that maps each claim to its evidence
• Scoping for a full EU AI Act conformity audit when required

Delivered through AdriaMont Consulting.

Expert witness & independent validation

Independent opinion and testimony on whether selection and assessment tools are valid and fair.

Law firms, employers, and regulators in employment, adverse-impact, and algorithmic-fairness disputes across the EU, UK, and US, and in arbitral and regulatory matters.

What it delivers

• Independent written opinions and expert or rebuttal testimony
• Analysis of test validity and job-relatedness, adverse impact, and differential item functioning (DIF)
• Measurement invariance and equivalence across protected groups
• Assessment of algorithmic fairness in AI-based screening and selection tools
• Cross-cultural and cross-linguistic comparability of assessments

Engaged independently; a single conflict register means no opinion is given adverse to a company advised on retainer.

Pre-Submission Methods Review

The report a hostile methods referee would write about your manuscript, five working days before you submit it.

Individual authors in quantitative social science, measurement and psychometrics, psychology, and education, submitting to an international journal.

What it delivers

• A desk-reject screen against the journal you name, read from its own published requirements
• Every objection a referee will raise, ranked by severity, each with the specific fix or the reasoned defence
• A statistics and reporting check: estimator fit, assumptions, effect sizes and intervals, reliability, and measurement comparability wherever a claim compares groups
• A drafted response-to-reviewers skeleton for the objections that are defensible
• A signed readiness statement, which is explicitly not a prediction of acceptance

Offered by the Center for Psychology, in English, from 550 EUR.
