Everything Xallarap and the AFK ecosystem has made publicly available. Free tools, open frameworks, and research you can use before, during, or after an engagement.
Primary tool
Alt-TAB
Free pre-deployment AI ethics assessment
Alt-TAB screens any technology decision against 35 international governance frameworks simultaneously. Every assessment includes mandatory screening for technology-facilitated gender-based violence, child safety, and cybersecurity, regardless of the technology type. It is the practical expression of the Parallax methodology, made freely available in the public interest.
Built on a decade of frontline advocacy and international governance work. Used by organisations across government, health, education, and civil society.

Alt-TAB gives you the screening. Xallarap gives you the interpretation, the context, and the path forward. If your situation is complex enough that a tool alone is not sufficient, that is what an engagement is for.
