The problem
Most evaluations stop at the model.
The metrics say the model works. The workflow breaks. The clinicians don’t trust it. Nobody can tell the board what the return actually was. That’s why AI deployments keep failing.
What the vendor hands you: strong numbers on one axis. Enough to clear regulatory review. Not enough to answer whether the tool will work in your setting.

What we do
Independent AI evaluation, built on secure data
Whether you're a hospital, an AI vendor, or a research team, we have a track for you.
De-identification that never leaves your hospital
Our Datascrub™ software runs on your own hardware. It strips patient identifiers from DICOM tags, burnt-in text and reports, and logs every action, so data can be used safely for research, AI development and evaluation.
It's already in use at the National Imaging Academy of Wales. Read the case study
Partner with us
A free evaluation of one AI tool
We're partnering with a small number of hospitals and AI vendors to evaluate one AI tool each, free of charge, on real patients inside their own network.
What you get
- A full independent evaluation of one AI tool, at no cost
- Performance by finding, patient group and scanner, on your own patients
- Patient data de-identified on site with Datascrub™, so it never leaves your network
- A named contact on our team from start to report
What you'll need
- One AI tool you use or are considering
- Information governance sign-off for on-site pseudonymisation
- A machine inside your network and a named clinical lead
- Your feedback on the process and the report
Places are limited and allocated in the order sites confirm.

Why Pontiro™
Independence is the whole point
If you want a vendor to tell you their AI works, ask the vendor. If you want the truth, ask us.
Vendor-neutral. Always.
We don't sell AI. We don't resell AI. We evaluate it. That independence is why hospitals trust our recommendations.
Clinical reality, not lab conditions
We test AI where it actually runs. In real clinical workflows with real clinicians, not controlled demos.
Repeatable methodology
Our evaluation framework is structured and evidence-based, so your results are defensible to boards, regulators, and procurement.
Built for Healthcare
We understand healthcare governance, information security, procurement frameworks, and the realities of clinical adoption across the UK and internationally.
The team
Real people. Real expertise.
We combine healthcare domain knowledge with technical depth, governed at board level by experienced industry leaders. Every evaluation is hands-on. You'll work directly with our founding team, not a rotating cast of consultants.
