AI Adversarial Consulting: The Stevens Method (STAN)
When your organization needs a public‑records campaign run right, an investigation built on documents instead of vibes, or a complex accountability project handled by someone who’s done it before — and tested with adversarial AI before anyone else sees it — that’s what STAN, the Stevens‑Trained Adversarial Network, is for.
Premium, scoped engagements for municipalities, advocacy organizations, law firms, and research teams. Every project is custom. Every engagement starts with a conversation.
Engagements begin at 25,000 dollars.
Description
STAN (Stevens-Trained Adversarial Network) is a hands-on accountability service.
You bring the problem — a contract that doesn’t add up, a vote that doesn’t track, a public records campaign bigger than your team can run, an investigation that needs to survive scrutiny. We build the project around it and deliver work your team or your lawyers can act on.
The output is receipts. Organized, sourced, defensible.
Open-source intelligence. Engineered AI. Decades of accountability work in the trenches against people with more lawyers and more time.
Why It’s Called STAN
STAN is the system behind the work. Every draft, records request, and investigative finding is run through multiple AI models with distinct roles — one builds, one attacks, one fact‑checks, one flags anything that can’t be sourced — and then through human review at four separate checkpoints.
You don’t need to understand the machinery. Here’s what matters:
By the time our work product reaches you, it has already been argued with, picked apart, and verified against primary sources. The mistakes that sink most AI‑assisted work — fabricated citations, invented quotes, confident‑sounding nonsense — get caught upstream.
Most consultants using AI are typing into a chatbot and hoping. We’re not.
If your AI workflow isn’t adversarial and multi‑model, you’re doing it wrong.
Who Hires Us
Municipalities trying to resolve internal issues before they become external problems. Advocacy organizations and nonprofits with a cause and a documentation gap. Law firms working in public-interest, civil rights, and government accountability. Campaigns and oversight teams during ballot fights and long investigations.
If you’re losing because the other side has more documents, more people, and more time — this is for you.
If you’re a small practitioner, we can help level the playing field.
Track Record
The Florida book-challenge law rewrite. Stevens filed Bible challenges in 63 districts under HB 1467’s “any person, any book” language. In 2024, the Legislature amended the statute to stop him — and the governor’s office said so on the record. Coverage: AP, Fortune, Daily Beast, Tallahassee Democrat.
Broward Schools civil-rights case. A “community use” policy allowed Christian banners and rejected others. Stevens applied under the same policy and, when refused, filed a federal civil rights complaint pro se. Within four weeks the district removed all religious banners district-wide. Southern District of Florida Senior Judge Scola dismissed the case as moot and noted from the bench that Stevens had “lost the battle, won the war.”
ESA letter-mill investigation. Operators selling $49–$99 emotional-support-animal letters with no real evaluation. Stevens, a former operator, is dismantling the industry from the inside. Results include a Wisconsin regulatory investigation, complaints in three states, and broadcast coverage.
Texas “In God We Trust.” A statute required display but didn’t specify language. Stevens raised $58,000 in a week and distributed compliant posters in Arabic, Spanish, and Hindi. NPR covered it. The bill’s author publicly misread his own law.
This work produces leverage — settlements, policy reversals, and sometimes legislatures rewriting statutes.
