What we build when nobody has commissioned it

Our own products and studies: things we built because we wanted to see them. Each entry names the capability it shows.

Filter by discipline
Cubework: the cube with its turn arrow on the left, the sticker graph with nine circles and the route of the piece in play on the right Method

Complete, not published Learning instrument

Cubework

Learning the puzzle cube through graph theory: layer method, sticker graph and state space

A cube solver that teaches reasons, not move lists: seven stages, a live sticker graph linked to the cube, and the solve drawn as a path through the state graph.

  • 7stages, each with a thinking move
  • 54 · 9points on circles in the sticker graph
  • 6animated graph theory lessons

Event Scout home view: the heading Events worth showing up for, a key-figure panel on the right, seven counter cards below, a filter bar with window, minimum priority, price, distance and region, a tab bar and a day-by-day priority list with a side rail of new finds Method

In use Built for our own business development

Event Scout

An agentic pipeline for in-person events in the region

A language model reads the event pages; everything else is fixed code. What remains is a short list of where a day in person is worth it.

  • 5weighted components in the priority score
  • 3distance tiers around the home base
  • 3scan bands, driven by each source's yield
