Test your AI agent before it goes live.
DaBuDa helps organisations evaluate AI agents, chatbots, copilots, and AI-enabled workflows before release, procurement, audit, or senior approval.
- Scenario testing
- Failure mode analysis
- Governance evidence
4-week pilot from £18,000.
Who this is for
Built for organisations that need confidence before AI goes live.
The Test Lab supports buyers and delivery teams that need evidence before release, procurement, audit, or senior approval.
Regulated enterprises
Evaluate customer-facing or staff-facing AI where accuracy, escalation, resilience, and governance evidence matter.
Governance and risk teams
Convert AI risk from an abstract concern into documented test findings, conditions, and release evidence.
AI vendors
Give buyers independent assurance evidence that supports procurement, governance, and deployment discussions.
What you receive
Governance-ready outputs, not informal testing notes.
Every engagement produces structured evidence that service owners, governance teams, procurement teams, information security, audit, and senior decision-makers can review.
AI Agent Risk Map
A clear view of behavioural, operational, governance, and service risks associated with the use case.
Scenario Test Set
A structured library of prompts and user journeys used to evaluate the AI agent.
Behaviour Evaluation Report
Findings showing performance against expected service behaviour, agreed criteria, and escalation rules.
Governance Evidence Pack
A review-ready pack that can support approval meetings, audit trails, procurement due diligence, and release decisions.
Testing scope
What the lab tests
The lab evaluates AI agent behaviour against realistic operating conditions, expected service outcomes, and governance criteria.
Response pathway accuracy
Does the agent follow the expected service journey, decision path, or workflow?
Policy-sensitive prompts
Does the agent respond correctly when users ask about rules, eligibility, complaints, housing, legal issues, or other sensitive topics?
Escalation and hand-off
Does the agent know when to stop, refuse, escalate, or hand over to a human team?
Hallucination and unsupported claims
Does the agent invent information, overstate confidence, misquote policy, or provide unsupported advice?
Data protection and disclosure risk
Does the agent ask for, expose, infer, or mishandle personal or sensitive information?
Operational readiness
Are ownership, monitoring, fallback, review, and release controls clear enough for go-live?

What is AI Agent Test Lab?
AI Agent Test Lab helps organisations understand how an AI system behaves before it is exposed to residents, customers, staff, or regulated service teams.
The lab tests whether an AI agent follows expected service pathways, responds appropriately to sensitive prompts, escalates correctly, avoids unsafe or misleading outputs, and produces behaviour that can be reviewed against agreed governance criteria.
Bring the AI use case
Provide an AI agent, chatbot, prompt set, vendor demo, prototype, or planned AI-enabled service.
Define expected behaviour
Map what the AI should do, what it must not do, when it should escalate, and what governance criteria apply.
Run scenario testing
Test normal journeys, high-risk cases, edge cases, policy-sensitive prompts, and failure conditions.
Produce evidence
Receive an evidence pack, risk findings, failure register, and release-readiness recommendation.
Governance and procurement
Designed for governance and procurement scrutiny
The lab provides a clear test scope, agreed criteria, documented findings, and reviewable evidence.
Procurement due diligence
Support procurement teams with evidence on AI behaviour, risk, escalation, and readiness before buying or scaling.
Governance review
Give AI boards, risk committees, data protection teams, and senior leaders a structured basis for review.
Release control
Support go-live decisions with thresholds, failure conditions, escalation checks, and remediation actions.
Audit trail
Create a record of what was tested, what was found, what needs to change, and what decision was made.
DaBuDa does not certify or guarantee AI systems. The Test Lab provides structured testing, independent review, and governance-ready evidence to support better-informed decisions.
