People Analytics Toolboxpeopleanalyticstoolbox.com

Live

Independently-versioned analytical microservices for people analytics — psychometric diagnostics, preference modeling, privacy primitives, segmentation, statistical enrichment, compensation logic, decision forecasting, metadata-grounded codegen — deployed as a single Next.js application and exposed over two transports: HTTP for engineers, MCP for AI agents. One Vercel project, one Supabase project. The behavioral and statistical foundation consumer apps compose against.

Compensation Toolboxcompensationtoolbox.com

Live

Run compensation without a comp team. The comp-vertical sister to the People Analytics Toolbox — a self-serve store of drop-in compensation capabilities (pay ranges, market benchmarking, pay fairness, wage compliance), exported for the tools comp pros already run, with posted prices and a free tier. The same store shape as the PA Toolbox, every spoke pointed at pay.

Principiapeopleprincipia.com

Live

The continuously-updated, source-graded, citation-verified, Bayesian-prior-bearing registry of organizational science — a survey-not-original-research curation layer that sits on top of CanonicAI's extraction pipelines and feeds canonical priors to the rest of the portfolio over a versioned REST + MCP contract.

Performixperformix.app

Live

The missing layer for managing performance — Performix brings measurement science to leadership decisions, controlling the conditions that drive a team's performance, not the people (ERP runs operations, HRIS runs payroll; nothing runs performance — Performix is the system that does). The mechanism: scores teams on Capability / Alignment / Motivation / Support (CAMS), names the binding constraint, and renders one accountable action per team. Psychometric-first: the diagnostic engine is real measurement, not a language model. The foundation underneath — constructs, measures, evidence weights — is built by AI-assisted ingest of peer-reviewed I/O psychology and organizational behavior literature, which is the precondition for the product, not a gloss on top of it; AI is a consumer of that foundation, never the engine. Same instrument, three doors: sales-performance variance, AI-transformation readiness, post-acquisition integration. Early build; pre-chasm.

AnyComp.AIanycomp.ai

Live

The compensation concierge — comprehensive comp analytics plus white-glove service for executives. AnyComp.AI is the org-wide Compensation Decision OS you graduate to from the self-serve Compensation Toolbox: pay decided across all your jobs and people at once, on a replayable cycle audit. The comp parallel to Performix — a polished concierge product off the store.

DevPlane

Private

Two products in one project. (1) A local cockpit for multi-tool software development — assignment registry, two-phase actor handoff, coordination-event log, MCP server, CLI, Chrome extension; the operator-side measurement layer AI coding tools' agent-side metrics miss. (2) The portfolio's shared engineering brain — pattern library, architecture maps, session handoffs, cross-project assignment registry, API registry, decision log, capabilities catalog, and the capability-architecture doctrine the whole portfolio is built against.

Fourth & Two

Private

Gridiron Platform — a fantasy football platform built around four converging efforts: a GM Command Center (lineup, waivers, trades, draft, rankings), a Python analytics API (PRISM and CAMS frameworks ported to football), an Insight Card system (PRISM trend / CAMS alignment / market-signal cards composed across surfaces), and Strategy League / Football IQ (a coaching-strategy game layered on fantasy leagues with a simulation engine).

Namesakenamesake.baby

Live

A name chosen, not stumbled upon. Every baby-naming product helps parents find names; Namesake is the only one that helps them choose one. Built on twenty years of weekly search data, a per-name composite score (SSA stats × LLM-enriched meaning × cultural-event attribution), a tournament-bracket decision UX with village voting, and a cultural-diffusion research apparatus underneath.

CanonicAI

Private

Corpus in, canonical data out. CanonicAI is the engine that turns a provided corpus — books, papers, domain documents — into canonical, queryable datasets, and owns the canonical schema + provenance the rest of the PeopleAnalyst family builds on. A production line, not a prompt.

Velavela.study

Live

A study of being human, read through four lenses — figurative art and the museum traditions, the vocabulary of emotion, literature (including the religious and contemplative inheritance), and the behavioral science of how people form, feel, and become. A magazine — written primarily by AI from that corpus, edited by humans and shaped by reader feedback — weaves them; adaptive intelligence learns how each reader moves through the material. The figurative-art player is the room a reader can enter first — one dimension positioned in a much broader project, all of it pointed at one work: helping people replace the belief-rooted thoughts and emotional patterns that work against their lives and communities with ones that work for them.

Penwright

Private

An AI-augmented authorship system — corpus control, packet-shaped composition, and a measurement framework that asks whether the writer is better with it, than without it, in six months.

Bicycle Guidebicycle.guide

Live

Grounded how-to guides built from a field's actual canon — cited per claim, aware of where the experts agree vs. disagree, light enough to carry. One engine (CanonicAI's cross-book models → the Bicycle generator), many focused .guide fronts. A bicycle gets you there faster, but you still pedal.
