Zero to Pro: The 5-Minute Journey
Goal: Transform from “Python Developer” to “AI Assurance Engineer” in 3 steps.
The Philosophy: Compliance as Code
Section titled “The Philosophy: Compliance as Code”You are used to pytest for checking if your function adds 2+2 correctly.
But how do you test if your AI model respects Human Rights?
Venturalitica treats “Assurance” as a dependency. Instead of vague legal advice, you define stricter Policies (OSCAL). Your CI/CD pipeline enforces them just like linter rules.
The Curriculum
Section titled “The Curriculum”| Level | Role | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| Start Here | Developer | Run your first audit in < 60s. |
| Level 1 | Engineer | Implement Controls for identified Risks. |
| Level 2 | Integrator | Viz & MLOps: “Compliance as Metadata”. |
| Level 3 | Auditor | Proof: “Trust the Glass Box”. |
| Level 4 | Architect | GenAI Docs: “Annex IV”. |
Step 1: Install
Section titled “Step 1: Install”We recommend uv for blazing speed, or standard pip.
uv pip install venturaliticapip install venturaliticaStep 2: Get the Code
Section titled “Step 2: Get the Code”To follow the Academy, clone the samples repository. This will be your working directory for all levels.
git clone https://github.com/venturalitica/venturalitica-sdk-samples.gitcd venturalitica-sdk-samples/scenarios/loan-credit-scoringStep 3: Run Your First Audit
Section titled “Step 3: Run Your First Audit”Run this single line of code. It downloads a dataset, loads a policy, and audits a model.
import venturalitica as vl
# Run the 'loan' scenariovl.quickstart('loan')Output:
CONTROL DESCRIPTION ACTUAL LIMIT RESULT ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── credit-data-imbalance Data Quality 0.429 > 0.2 PASS credit-data-bias Disparate impact 0.818 > 0.8 PASS credit-age-disparate Age disparity 0.286 > 0.5 FAIL ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Audit Summary: VIOLATION | 2/3 controls passedTake Home Message
Section titled “Take Home Message”Step 4: Choose Your Path
Section titled “Step 4: Choose Your Path”Now that you’ve seen the failure, learn how to fix it and verify it.
- Level 1: The Engineer — Learn how to implement Controls that mitigate identified Risks. Detect & Block non-compliant models.
- Level 2: The Integrator — Log outcomes to MLOps tools and verify results visually in the Dashboard.
- Level 3: The Auditor — Learn how to perform a “Glass Box” audit on the loan model and generate cryptographic proofs.
- Level 4: The Architect — The Boss Level. Train a high-risk financial model and generate the massive Technical Documentation required by the EU AI Act.
