SITG-CONSULTING
Founder Product Review and Validation™
Independent Validation for Founders Seeking Enterprise Customers and Investor Scrutiny
The market is full of claims.
Quantum-safe.
AI-governed.
Enterprise-ready.
Zero Trust.
Regulator-aligned.
Claims are easy.
Evidence is harder.
The SITG Founder Product Review and Validation™ provides an independent, evidence-led assessment of product claims, governance posture, operational readiness and supporting evidence.
Importantly, we have structured the service at a price founders can fund, because independent validation should not be reserved exclusively for large enterprises.
Claims Are Easy. Evidence Is Harder.
The market is full of products claiming to be quantum-safe, AI-governed, enterprise-ready, resilient, compliant or Zero Trust.
Investors hear these claims.
Procurement teams hear these claims.
Regulators hear these claims.
The question is always the same:
Can you prove it?
Without independent validation, product claims remain assertions rather than evidence.
Built for Founders
For years, SITG-Consulting has performed independent validation as part of assurance and governance engagements.
Every week we receive around 100 emails, messages and enquiries from founders, technology companies and investors seeking independent advice, challenge and validation.
Many of those conversations arrive at the same place.
"We have built something."
"Can we prove it?"
Large organisations can often afford independent validation programmes.
Many bootstrapped founders cannot.
Yet they are often the organisations that need it most.
The Founder Product Review and Validation™ was created to provide founders with access to independent validation at a price founders can fund.
What We Assure

Does the product align with referenced standards and frameworks?

Independence By Structure
• No vendor partnerships
Validation is only commercially valuable when the validator has nothing to gain from the answer.
• No equity stakes
• No downstream implementation revenue
• No commercial interest in the outcome
• Evidence-led conclusions only
The engagement fee is the only fee. There is no downstream revenue line. By design.
