CAWS works with employers, public agencies, nonprofits, unions, and worker organizations on how AI and algorithmic systems are affecting the people doing the work, and every engagement ends in something the organization can act on.
Start a conversationEach engagement is scoped to the organization and the systems in use. Partners own what CAWS builds for them, and CAWS keeps and openly publishes its methods and anonymized aggregate learning. Pricing is provided on request.
A 90-minute conversation that helps leadership decide how to approach AI at work, covering what's coming, which questions to ask, and where to start, followed by a short decision memo.
A written research brief on one sector, covering which AI and algorithmic systems are arriving, where they touch decisions about work, and which hazards matter most, with the evidence behind each.
A structured survey of the affected workers through your own channel. Findings go back to worker representatives before they're final, and the Pulse ends in a decision session with leadership. Follow-up interviews and a focus group can be added where the survey points.
The complete cycle, from mapping the systems in use through a decision session with leadership. Findings are validated with workers before they are final.
CAWS runs the analysis on one priority system or job, on site with the people who operate it and whose work it affects, and writes it up with ranked hazards, controls, a named owner for each, and a 90-day plan.
A written list of the uses your organization won't make of AI. Named ownership of AI decisions and of each tool's output, with a review procedure and a near-miss log. Notice, explanation, appeal, and participation language for one AI system.
Safety questions with verified, sourced answers, built with your subject matter experts, so your accountable owners can check an AI tool's answers on your own content over time. Your team runs it and owns the results.
Three courses built on one method, from a 90-minute awareness session to two days for the people accountable for an AI program. Delivered directly, or built into the organization through train-the-trainer. See the courses.
CAWS is not affiliated with any vendor and does not promote, sell, or certify any AI product or tool. CAWS sells its own services, and nothing else.
Every engagement follows the same cycle. CAWS maps the systems in use, listens to the workers using them, checks the findings with those workers before anything is final, and ends in a decision session with leadership. Individual responses are confidential and reported only in aggregate.
CAWS works on any workplace where AI or algorithmic systems direct, monitor, measure, or evaluate the work, and with anyone whose work those systems shape, whatever their sector, title, or employment arrangement. That includes office, professional, and technical staff as much as frontline and field roles.

CAWS wants to hear from workers directly. If you are a worker and not here on behalf of an organization, write anyway.
