Work in the open.
The agency ships capability; the lab is where it comes from. Here is both — the work we are building and the research we sell. Not finished papers: what holds up, as it holds up.
Four ways into one body of work — capability that’s governed, evidenced, and shown in the open.
Research you can buy.
Every report ships a free sample and its method. You buy the full version — no black box.
Governing Untrusted AI — the Agent Harness study
How to turn an untrusted, weak model into governed, evidenced work with zero patches to the core — a reproducible study with a full evidence trail you can re-run.
Unichrome Color Intelligence Report
A working forecast of where color is going — palette systems, harmony frameworks, and product mappings for 2026–27 — built from measured color data, not mood boards.
AI Skills & Talent Trends
Roughly $3T of US wages sits in work AI could touch — but the usual exposure numbers are two to three times too high. This measures what AI can actually take from each industry’s roles. Twelve industries; shared in a briefing.
What the lab has built.
Real systems, shown — not described. Where the work runs on CHP, it leaves a signed, inspectable record like the one below.
Capability Host Protocol
The open standard the whole agency is built on: software declares what it can do, agents and systems discover and invoke it, and every call is governed and turned into tamper-evident evidence.
Explore & visitCapability Gateway
The governed front door between the outside world and the mesh: every request becomes a single, narrow, policy-checked, append-only-audited capability invocation — and it powers this site’s own intake.
ExploreAuxo Agent Harness
The runtime behind the study above: untrusted models do real work under policy, with signed, replayable evidence and no authority to act on their own.
Explorea2a.computer
The front-door to a governed capability mesh: describe the state you want, and it finds a capability path across machines, models, and storage — returning a verified result with evidence.
Explore & visitHeadless Agents
Express intent as an issue on a Radicle repo; a governed agent swarm plans it, writes the code, verifies its own work, and opens a patch for a human to review.
Explorecapabilities.txt
A small, public convention — a machine-readable file declaring what an agent or service can do — with a live directory and validator.
Explore & visitUnichrome
A color-intelligence practice: a measured color engine (grounded in a physical colorimeter), a palette and harmony system, and a content platform behind it.
Explore & visitChromaphone
A rule-governed audiovisual compiler: it turns a palette — five hex, a photo, or a live colorimeter scan — into an explained musical score through a traced, inspectable pipeline.

Work in progress.
Experiments and directions, labeled as such. Early, honest, and ours.
A large component system with WebGPU motifs, editorial glyphs, and ambient textures — one system, many brands, every surface degrading gracefully.
ExploreReads an image as a perceptual field, infers a visual archetype, and re-renders it through an explainable procedural grammar — deliberately not neural style transfer.
ExploreAn unclonable optical fingerprint for physical goods — a passive glitter mark whose random structure is the identity, verified with a phone. No electronics, no chip.

Research is research — not disguised client work. We share what holds up, as it holds up.
Need the research that doesn’t exist yet?
Bring us the question. We run it as a governed program and hand you the report — and the evidence behind it.
