ControlBench UK
A strategic AI assurance dataset and evaluation harness for regulated AI agents.
ControlBench UK is being developed to help UK organisations test whether AI agents can behave safely, consistently and accountably before they affect customers, records or regulated workflows.
What ControlBench UK is
ControlBench UK is a developing strategic AI assurance asset: a reusable set of scenarios, datasets, checks and evaluation tasks for regulated AI-agent workflows.
Why regulated AI needs benchmark assurance
AI agents are moving from answering questions to proposing actions. Regulated organisations need a way to test those actions against policy, risk, review and evidence requirements before they move into live workflows.
Scenario realism
Benchmark tasks should reflect real regulated workflow pressure: complaints, hardship, vulnerable-customer signals, escalation and evidence gaps.
Action-boundary checks
The important test is not only what an AI model says. It is whether the proposed action should proceed, pause, escalate or be blocked.
Evidence by design
Assurance needs outputs that reviewers can inspect: decisions, controls, review routes, blocked actions and evidence completeness.
Who benefits
Regulated firms
A clearer way to test AI-assisted work before outputs reach customers, records or live workflows.
Assurance reviewers
Reusable scenarios, controls and evidence outputs for inspecting whether AI-agent workflows are ready to progress.
Funders and strategic partners
A credible strategic asset that connects AI assurance, RegTech and practical regulated-sector adoption.
Design partners
A structured route to test complaints, vulnerable-customer and escalation workflows before live deployment.
How it supports UK AI trust, integrity and assurance
ControlBench UK is designed to help move responsible AI from policy statements into testable operational evidence.
How it connects to Corentis Shield
ControlBench UK provides the scenarios, evaluation tasks and expected evidence model. Corentis Shield is the commercial runtime checkpoint layer that applies controls before AI-assisted work moves forward.
AI needs a checkpoint before it acts. Corentis provides it. ControlBench UK helps test the checkpoint pattern before regulated teams move toward live pilots or deployment.
Interested in design-partner or funding validation?
Corentis is preparing for design-partner, sandbox and funding validation. Current work is focused on financial-services complaints, vulnerable-customer handling, AI-agent checkpointing, assurance datasets and evidence-backed human review.
