About

I stress-test systems until they break, then rebuild them better. Went from zero AI experience to architecting a 22-system directive framework in four months by breaking everything first. My approach is constraint-first: figure out where something fails before you figure out where it works. That applies to products, companies, and intelligence workflows. Building B2B intelligence tools that find what CRMs can't show you. Not dashboards. Not scraped contacts. Sourced, verified research that tells you which companies need what you sell before they start looking. Small team. Ship fast. Every assumption is a thesis until it survives pressure-testing. "With enough data, the future becomes a thesis."

Prophacite - Find who needs what you sell before they start looking

Most sales intelligence tools show you who's already looking. Prophacite finds companies that need what you sell before they start searching, typically 3-12 months ahead of competitors relying on intent signals. Every output is a custom intelligence brief with verifiable sourcing, not a dashboard, not scraped contacts. Three products: Pre-Intent Intelligence finds future buyers, Pre-Diligence surfaces hidden risk before you commit capital, R.I.S.K. detects churn before contracts slip.
