Services

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

The strongest collaborations are those where methodological quality, institutional delivery, and practical implementation all matter.

Advisory & expert services

Three focused ways to engage senior measurement expertise.

Advisory on assessment validity and the EU AI Act, independent expert-witness work, and a research and evaluation partnership for Horizon Europe consortia - each grounded in two decades of large-scale assessment design and 50+ peer-reviewed publications.

EU AI Act & assessment validity

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 for enterprise procurement, investor diligence, and the EU AI Act's documented-validity and bias expectations.

Why me

Grounded in the design and cross-cultural validation of the OECD Study on Social and Emotional Skills, PISA, and PIAAC, and 50+ peer-reviewed publications on measurement equivalence, DIF, and invariance.

What it delivers

  • A named senior psychometric advisor - credential and ORCID - on your site and pitch deck
  • Instrument and scoring review: item quality, reliability, factor structure, differential item functioning and bias, and measurement invariance across the groups you deploy to
  • Sign-off on the specific validity claims you make in marketing, sales, and procurement
  • 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; the scientific credential is personal.

Expert witness & disputes

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.

Why me

20+ years designing and validating large-scale assessments (OECD SSES across 10 countries and 250,000+ participants, PISA, PIAAC) and 50+ peer-reviewed publications on the measurement-equivalence and DIF methods at the technical core of adverse-impact and algorithmic-discrimination cases.

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.
