The homework behind
the platforms
Benchmarks, playbooks, and field surveys written from the build side. Full editions are free for qualified teams — we send them personally.
The 2026 AI & Software Build Cost Benchmark
Real cost data from $100K+ platform, AI, and tokenization builds: line-item benchmarks, hidden-cost multipliers, US vs EU deltas, and budget worksheets you can take into a board meeting.
The Partner Evaluation Scorecard: AI-Era Edition
A weighted, fill-in scorecard for shortlisting development partners on $100K+ projects: AI-delivery maturity, engineering depth, security, GDPR/MiCA compliance, infrastructure ownership, and TCO.
The On-Prem Development Playbook
How to keep infrastructure burn low before launch: on-premise development environments, containerized promotion pipelines, and the moment cloud actually earns its bill — with an EU data-sovereignty annex.
The 2026 AI Agent Readiness Checklist
A practical checklist for enterprises adopting task-specific agents: evaluation harnesses, bounded autonomy, audit trails, and the organizational prerequisites nobody budgets for.
The State of Onchain Compliance in Emerging Markets
A field survey of tokenization, sanctions screening, and regulatory readiness across emerging-market virtual-asset ecosystems — where licensing is outpacing tooling.
Need numbers on your specific problem?
We run scoped benchmarks and technical surveys for clients — pricing a build, comparing architectures, or sizing a market corridor.

Permissioned versus public settlement, custody models, and the trade-offs behind compliant payment rails for a market that tripled past $30B on-chain.
What should we investigate next?
Working papers start as reader questions. Tell us the trade-off you're wrestling with.
