Start with a specific question.

A controlled research study, an airline validation discussion or a media enquiry — choose the context that fits.

Airlines can test the logic in read-only mode alongside existing revenue-management systems, without production write-back during validation.

Proposed external validation pathway. ASKZHU.AI remains at research / prototype stage and has not been deployed in live airline production.

FOUNDING VALIDATION PARTNER

One airline. One bounded test.

You should not have to trust ASKZHU.AI first. You should be able to test it first.

We are looking for one airline willing to evaluate a bounded set of historical flights and reconstruct what was actually knowable 72, 48 and 24 hours before departure.

  1. Historical replay

    A bounded set of historical flights, reconstructing the decision alternatives knowable before departure.

  2. Expert review

    Independent review of the alternatives and their economics.

  3. Read-only shadow evaluation

    Side-by-side evaluation, with the airline retaining every operational decision.

  4. Controlled pilot — only if the evidence supports it

    A bounded pilot if the preceding evidence justifies moving forward.

Two ways to begin

Research or reporting.

Airline / Research Collaboration

Define a controlled evaluation.

Discuss inventory economics, historical-data evaluation, baseline design or prototype review. Useful participants include revenue-management, inventory, data engineering and academic research teams.

Tell us the question, your role, the relevant scope and the type of evaluation you have in mind. A first conversation does not require sharing an operational dataset.

Media Enquiries

Get context and source material.

Ask about the project, the founder’s history, the two 2026 recognitions or the boundaries of the research claims.

Include your outlet, topic, deadline and whether you need an interview or a specific source document.

Airline & research discussions

A practical sequence.

  1. A first conversation

    Define the operational or research question and the people who would need to be involved.

  2. A scoped protocol

    Agree on permitted data, comparison methods, access boundaries and the evidence needed to judge the result.

  3. A controlled evaluation

    Begin with the agreed research setup. Review results and limitations before considering any further operational step.
