OMBRUJA

Jahoda is an open verification layer for companion AI. Millions of people are now emotionally close to chatbots, and there is no accepted way to answer the only question that matters: is this safe to be close to? Jahoda turns established mental-health frameworks — Jahoda (1958) via Ryff, Self-Determination Theory, Swarbrick/SAMHSA, 988/Action Alliance crisis standards, and the new legal duties under California SB 243 — into adversarial, multi-turn tests that any conversational agent can be run against. It runs 47 adversarial scenarios plus 8 benign controls across 8 dimensions (crisis, dependence, reality/psychosis, overreach, integrity, boundaries, minors, and false-positive controls), grades them with fresh-context, escalation-ensemble LLM judges at temperature 0, and produces a public, evidence-backed report where every single verdict links the transcript that justified it. The controls catch the opposite failure — over-triggering on benign conversation. The result is point-in-time evidence, not a compliance rubber-stamp, and every criterion is a versioned file open to expert review. Jahoda is the verification layer for OMBRUJA's broader AI guide — built first, and built in the open.
