  • [Ryan — headline case]

Paint-out and cut selection.

Case 03 CH.02b · Maclean's TikToks · pending

Tools

Case 04 ▪ In production

All-generative, on purpose.

Where AI helped
All visuals. Character, animation, style consistency, backgrounds, transitions.

CH.06 · Innermap · CTO2023 – present

[Ryan — what being CTO of a clinical AI product demonstrates for this role]

  • CTO
  • Product · Engineering · Evals

Innermap builds Affi, an EFT-informed AI companion. I lead product, engineering, and evals. Katherine Prokopakis (registered psychotherapist) leads clinical.

Everything user-facing passes through the evaluation pipeline before it ships. See CH.07.

Meet Affi

CH.07 · Governance · Ethics · Security

[Ryan — why testing is the discipline that actually transfers]

  • Encryption
  • HIPAA infrastructure
  • Evaluation gates

AI shifts one discipline more than any other: testing. What did the model produce, did it drift, does the rubric still catch what it should. Taste and craft don't change; QA does.

Same shape works for brand content as for a therapy companion. Versioned prompts. Rubric per client. Automated regression. Human sampling on the edges.
