Client Number One is Pivotal Psych Consultants, where PAII’s systems are used internally first. Supporting discipline: Applied Research & Education informs this work.

One example in practice

A vendor pitch meets real requirements.

The question
Does this vendor meet the requirements the team already agreed, and what does the renewal clause really commit them to?
Evidence organized
The proposal, pricing sheet and renewal clause, checked in separate commercial, legal and fit lanes against requirements already on record.
What stayed uncertain
Implementation cost is not published. Audit-trail retention falls short.
What the human decided
Whether to keep digging, set it aside, or open the full brief, after reading the renewal clause.
The next step
Keep digging: more internal research. No terms accepted, no vendor contacted.

How it works

Frame. Investigate. Decide.

  1. Frame the question. Name the decision, the outcome that matters, and the boundaries.
  2. Investigate and organize. Research that separates what is verified from what is claimed, inferred or unknown.
  3. Human review and action. A person weighs the evidence and makes the call. Consequential steps are designed to wait for a person.

PAII combines AI-assisted research and workflow support with explicit human review, source visibility, uncertainty, and defined boundaries.

  • Built through real operating work at Pivotal Psych
  • Informed by applied research and education
  • Led by Richard P. Fleitas, Psy.D.
