--- title: "Selected work — Mario Marcolongo" description: "Selected work by Mario Marcolongo: paid scientific and website work, source investigations, independent AI evaluation and research tools, with linked evidence." canonical: https://mariomarcolongo.com/work --- - Selected work # Investigations, testing & practical delivery. Paid scientific and website work, public-source investigations, independent AI evaluation and research tools. Each case explains my contribution and links the evidence. For independent software projects, I define requirements, inspect behavior, test releases and maintain tools, using AI-assisted implementation. Case studies identify my contribution and link the outputs, source records and external reviews.
