The problem
An AI workflow can sound polished while missing instructions, making unsupported claims, asking the wrong questions, or producing inconsistent results. Finding those gaps is the first step to narrowing them.
The tone is certain, but the claim has nothing behind it.
The same question, asked twice, gets two different answers.
The instructions describe one job; the people using it need another.
When a question is ambiguous or out of scope, nobody decided what should happen.
Services
Each starts with a conversation about your workflow. These are proposed offerings; scope is agreed with you.
Potential deliverables
For teams whose AI outputs are inconsistent or not meeting their needs.
Improve a WorkflowPotential deliverables
For teams that want to keep evaluating a workflow as it changes.

It is not cybersecurity penetration testing, and it is not compliance certification. It is also not a guarantee of accuracy: testing helps find problems and guide improvements, but no review can remove every error.
Approach
Writing a clever prompt is a small part of it. The larger part is testing how a workflow behaves and checking whether the changes helped.
01
Define the task, the users, and what a good result should look like.
02
Test realistic questions, ambiguous instructions, and difficult cases.
03
Refine prompts, examples, response rules, and handoffs.
04
Compare results against agreed criteria and document remaining limitations.
Illustrative example—not a client case study
Scenario: a lead-qualification assistant recommends a sales call before confirming whether the prospect is a good fit. The dialogue below is invented for illustration.
Prospect: We’re a small team and we’re looking at tools for scheduling.
Assistant: That sounds like a great fit! Let’s get you booked in for a call with our sales team.
The issue: missing qualification questions. The call is recommended before anyone knows whether it’s a fit.
Prospect: We’re a small team and we’re looking at tools for scheduling.
Assistant: Thanks. Before I suggest a next step, a couple of quick questions: roughly how many people would use it, and what are you using today?
The proposed change: clearer qualification rules and instructions to ask for missing information.
What to test: whether the assistant follows those rules across varied prospect conversations, including vague, incomplete and off-topic ones.
About Natalie
I’m interested in the gap between what AI appears to understand and what it actually delivers.
My approach brings together careful questioning, creative experimentation, and clear communication. I look for overlooked assumptions—and turn what I find into practical improvements.
FAQ
It means testing an AI’s outputs against defined expectations, then reviewing where the workflow succeeds and where it falls short.
Writing a prompt is one step. I start by understanding the task, then test how the workflow behaves, refine the instructions, and check the results against what we agreed a good outcome looks like.
Not necessarily. A first conversation can clarify whether the project is about improving a workflow you already have or defining an initial prompt-based prototype. I don’t offer software development or integrations.
No. Testing can identify problems and guide improvements, but it cannot eliminate every error. I’ll document remaining limitations so you know what to watch.
