Grounded.
We don't ship claims we can't source. Every external assertion carries provenance.
Four non-negotiables shape how we build, hire, and decide. No open requisitions today — the team is intentionally lean. Speculative applications from operators we'd consider exceptional are welcome.
The non-negotiables
We don't ship claims we can't source. Every external assertion carries provenance.
Credible intervals over point estimates. "Not yet" is a complete sentence when the data isn't there.
One canon, every surface. If a change here doesn't propagate cleanly there, the system isn't done.
Every decision logged. Every change versioned. Verify us — don't trust us.
We're building the substrate beneath commercial claims. Day-to-day means specifying decisions to a level most teams skip: source-of-truth, retention class, propagation semantics, audit obligations.
If you've ever wanted to write code the way a regulator reads law — precisely, with footnotes — this is that.
"The bar is one thing: would I stake my reputation on this artifact in front of a customer's counsel?"
Small, senior, opinionated. Most decisions happen in writing because we believe legible decisions compound. Synchronous time is for blocked work — the rest is async by design.
The team is intentionally lean while we ship V1 of the platform. If you're an operator we'd consider exceptional — the kind of person whose reputation precedes them in a narrow circle — write to us anyway.
