Chokmah LLC – Technical Consulting, Cybersecurity & AI Solutions

Core service offerings (AI, security, training, expert witness)

Adapt threat modeling for agentic AI workflows

Chokmah LLC applies STRIDE, PASTA, and attack-tree methods to agentic AI systems so risk is expressed as measurable exposure—not only red/green checklists. Secure software development lifecycle (SDLC) automation is part of the same engagement pattern.

Design AI-enhanced security operations

Services include anomaly detection, automated triage, context-aware alerting, and controlled integration of large language models into defensive workflows. Alert-quality and handoff improvements are measured per engagement (no universal percentage is claimed on this page).

Practice context engineering for token-efficient AI coding

Context engineering means structuring retrieval and rules before the prompt layer so models load less noise and reuse cacheable context. Public release metrics for one Chokmah system—Claude Code Playbook v4.4.0—are stated on the research landing (Headroom 47–92% dynamic context reduction; path-scoped rules 41% overhead reduction; DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20481459) as author-reported release figures, not client guarantees.

Deliver professional training and curriculum design

Chokmah designs private workshops and custom curricula covering secure SDLC, AI coding assistants, threat modeling, and compliance-oriented automation. Catalog: Training — Secure AI-Assisted Spec & Automation Training (June 2026 v3), Cloud Security Intro, and Secure SDLC & AI-Assisted Engineering.

Provide federal court expert witness services

Subject-matter expertise covers computer security, digital forensics, programming/code analysis, risk profiling, and log interpretation. Engagement types include testimony, independent reports, and court-preparatory consulting under the docket qualification noted above.

Industrial Safety Service Offerings

Defend OT/ICS control environments

Chokmah designs defense-in-depth for SCADA, DCS, and PLC environments using protocol-aware segmentation and IEC 62443 practices so lateral movement inside critical segments is constrained without forcing unnecessary downtime.

Automate NERC-CIP to OSCAL transformation

Using the January 2026 toolkit, unstructured NERC-CIP requirements become machine-readable OSCAL v1.1.2 component definitions with NIST SP 800-53 mapping, JAMA integration, and 27 automated tests. Regulators and internal audit can inspect definitions plus checks instead of narrative-only write-ups; hour-saved deltas remain engagement-specific when measured.

Oversee industrial AI safety and functional safety (FuSA)

FuSA (functional safety) oversight covers hazard analysis and logic-level verification for AI-integrated Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in high-hazard zones such as battery energy storage (BESS), chemical, and power. Spec-driven checks aim to keep AI-assisted operations from overriding hardware safety constraints.

Defining "Sovereign Grade" Competence

We do not sell generic best practices. Chokmah engineers Sovereign Grade systems where every technical artifact is computationally true, legally defensible, and strategically unassailable.

1. Math-as-Truth (Spec-Driven Computation)

We move security and project management away from opaque "red/green" checklists toward mathematical defensibility. By enforcing Spec-Driven Development, that is, architecting formal specifications (CUE, YAML, Markdown) before code generation; we ensure system logic is defined by rigorous constraints, not chatbot probability. We deliver "Impossibility Proofs" backed by dependency manifests and Monte Carlo simulations, quantifying risk abatement in dollars and weeks, not adjectives.

2. Radical Traceability ("Audit-First")

Competence is only Sovereign Grade if it survives a high-stakes federal audit. We treat configuration management as a safety-critical path, mandating linear history and cryptographic signing to satisfy IEC 61508, UL 1998, and UL 5500. Hardened by NIST SP 800-series alignment, we transform daily logs into a Strategic Audit Trail that pre-answers the scrutiny of federal court experts.

3. Context Engineering

We practice the architectural minimization of information waste. By structuring retrieval paths before the prompt layer, we trade "hallucination" for maximum clarity. We "buff" messy engineering signals into high-resolution executive narratives that leadership can act upon immediately without interpretation.

4. SME Force Multiplier

We act as the "invisible architect" who makes leadership appear high-velocity and proactive. We frame technical implementation as Roadmap Protection and Cross-Functional Enablement, providing the sovereign technical foundation that allows leadership to focus on high-level stakeholder alignment and strategic execution.

5. Supply Chain Autonomy ("Black-Box-Elimination")

We maintain a relentless bias toward provable transparency. We identify "binary blobs" or proprietary backdoors as disqualifying risks, pivoting to auditable, open-source solutions to eliminate vendor-managed opacity. Sovereign competence means maintaining full Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) transparency; your security posture should never rely on unverified vendor claims.
