Founder & Principal Consultant
Alfonso Ramon Evans
Alfonso Ramon Evans founded ARE Global Consulting LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company organized in June 2026. He leads every assignment as principal consultant and is personally accountable for scope, evidence review, release, and correction of the firm’s work.
Focus
His work concentrates on where fraud, identity, and payment controls fail in practice, and on the documentation a reviewer needs to show whether a control operated.
Fraud and payment controls
Areas of focus
Social-engineering attack paths, account-access abuse, manual-authorization exposure, card-not-present risk, payment-instruction changes, and control gaps in authorization and exception handling.
Identity and documentation
Areas of focus
Identity-verification workflows and friction points, exception paths, evidence organization, and decision traceability.
Research and briefing
Current practice
Independent research on fraud-control frameworks, payment-system risk, identity workflows, SI-enabled abuse, and enforcement actions, turned into concise risk notes and briefing-style summaries.
Tools and build work
Working tools
Structured briefs, chronologies, and remediation narratives; open-source research; document control; SI-assisted research under human review; and a prototype fraud-operations dashboard built in Python and Streamlit.
The accountability standard
These are commitments a buyer can write into scope and check during delivery.
- Scope. The principal confirms the review question, authority, audience, source set, exclusions, deliverable, and acceptance criteria before substantive work. Buyer record: accepted scope and a named approval path for changes.
- Evidence. Findings separate source-supported fact, inference, conflicting evidence, and unknowns. Buyer record: source references and the basis for each material conclusion.
- Release. The principal reviews support, limitations, and intended use before release. SI-assisted drafting stays subject to that review. Buyer record: dated version, accountable reviewer, open items, next action.
- Correction. Material changes are recorded with the reason and communicated to agreed recipients. Buyer record: correction rationale, revised version, and notification record.
Questions and corrections
Procurement reviewers, oversight staff, and members of the public can raise a specific discrepancy directly with the principal. Send the page URL or work-product title and version, the statement in question, and a short explanation. Keep the first message non-sensitive.
Discuss the decision and the review need.
Start with your organization, question, intended audience, and timing. No attachments or credentials in a first message.
