AdriaMont Consulting Advisory and Applied Measurement
Current

Illustrative engagements include organisational design and job classification, personnel assessment, and psychometric instruments with staff training for public and private clients.
Applied research and assessment hub. Currently running a cross-national study that tests a new framework and objective instrument for measuring AI literacy, establishing the measurement invariance and cross-cultural comparability that credible AI-literacy assessment requires.
Center for PsychologyAI literacyMeasurement invarianceCross-cultural
An audit of 61 public AI leaderboards, from GPQA and SWE-bench to tau2-bench, using the question-level results their maintainers publish. Most of the leads that headline new model releases are smaller than the benchmarks can detect.
AI evaluationPsychometricsMeasurement precisionCenter for Psychology
An extended country note on the 2025 results. One national average covers seven separate school systems; between three tenths and four tenths of the country's largest recorded gain is a changed test population rather than improved learning; and an item-level audit shows the national mean survives the difference between the Arabic and English test versions while the subscale profiles do not.
PISAEducational measurementComparabilityCenter for Psychology
A named senior psychometrician on retainer to ed-tech, HR-tech, and assessment vendors - instrument and bias review, validity-claim review, and a standing validity dossier that maps each claim to its evidence, in line with EU AI Act documented-validity expectations. Delivered through AdriaMont Consulting.
Independent written opinions and expert testimony on whether selection and assessment tools, including AI-based hiring, are valid and function equivalently across protected groups: test validity, adverse impact and differential item functioning, measurement invariance, and algorithmic fairness.
