Who runs this

breaklight is a global, independent AI testing organisation. When a product relies on AI for its outcomes or its answers, we establish whether those are actually right — before a customer finds out they are not.

  Founder and Operations

  Duncan Smith

  Twenty-five years in software testing and quality engineering, most of it spent on large, high-consequence programmes where the cost of shipping something wrong is measured in customers rather than tickets. That background is why breaklight treats AI assessment as an assurance discipline rather than a scoring exercise: define the contract, build the evidence, and make the release decision explicit.

  Head of Strategy and Delivery

  Nikolai Grabner

  A career spent turning technology strategy into delivered outcomes, working with enterprise teams on the practical end of that gap — scope, sequencing, and the judgement calls that decide whether a programme lands. At breaklight that shapes how engagements are framed: what is worth testing, in what order, and what evidence a business actually needs before it commits.
