High-Leverage Intelligence for Regulated Environments.

Bringing Silicon Valley systems engineering to Hawaii's critical infrastructure.

01 // The Thesis

THE GAP

Global consultancies bring scale but lack context. Local firms understand the culture but lack architectural rigor. The result is high-friction technology implementations that fail to compound in value over time.

THE BRIDGE

We operate at the intersection of Silicon Valley rigor and Island reality. We do not sell hours. We engineer sovereign data systems and agentic frameworks designed for durability, auditability, and structural leverage.

02 // Applied Research
ORIGIN // SCALE
San Francisco / Silicon Valley

Leveraging the distributed architectural patterns used to scale KarmaCheck ($0-20M ARR) in regulated healthcare and engineered at Box & Optimizely.

Distributed Systems Compliance Zero-to-One
BLUEPRINT // DATA FABRIC
Public Sector / Social Services

A reference architecture for unifying siloed legacy databases into a vector-based retrieval system. Enables cross-agency visibility while maintaining strict PII sovereignty.

Sovereign Data RAG Pipelines GovTech
BLUEPRINT // YIELD ENGINE
Hospitality / Asset Management

Predictive modeling to dynamically adjust F&B inventory and pricing based on real-time consumption signals, protecting margins against waste and volatility.

Predictive AI Margin Opt Real-Time
03 // The Standard

Sovereign Instances

Your data never trains public models. We deploy isolated, private instances that ensure compliance with state and federal privacy standards.

Deterministic Core

We value accuracy over creativity. Our agent architectures use strict decision trees to prevent hallucinations in high-stakes environments.

Reversible Ops

We engineer systems that can be rolled back instantly. No "big bang" launches. We prefer iterative, observable integration.

// The Mandate

Turning AI into governed, production-grade workflows for regulated institutions. Constructing high-leverage technical architectures that respect risk, incentive alignment, and long-term compounding.

// The Asset Manager

Providing low-LTV, non-recourse liquidity against late-stage private equity for tax-sensitive founders and executives. Operating at the intersection of software, data, and capital markets.
