Jean-Luc Martel builds technology for regulated financial institutions: insurers, wealth managers and pension funds. Most of that work is architecture and operations. He decides what to build and what to buy, how the pieces fit together, and who owns the result once it is in production. He specializes in build-operate-transfer engagements, where he sets up a system along with the team and practices that keep it running after he leaves.

He started AI Control Kit because the questions that matter about a deployed AI system are rarely about how good the model is. They are about who can approve what the system does, how far its actions reach, what each decision costs, and what evidence backs up the claim that someone is overseeing it. In a regulated business, those questions have a named owner and a supervisor who will eventually ask for the record.

The reference library explains the mechanisms and keeps each claim next to its limits and sources. The blog is where he takes positions on ownership, permissions, cost, vendors and the work that nobody budgeted for.

Jean-Luc works in Singular State’s AI practice for financial services and sits on the investment committee at Sidebet Solutions.
