The Mission: Code for Culture
I am building software with a dual purpose: to advance the frontier of semantic calculus and to slow the rate of Indigenous language death.

My work focuses on the "middleware" gap—the layer between raw natural language and modern LLMs. By creating cleaner, faster, and more structured ways to process text, we can do two very different things with the same engine:

  1. Preserve History: Build browser-based accessibility tools (linters) and influence web schemas to support Indigenous languages.
  2. Predict the Future: Extract event codes and risk exposures from financial reports to inform investment strategies.

The Projects

  • LinguaLint (The Engine): A machine-generated, AGPL-licensed semantic calculus engine. It serves as the root middleware for processing natural language. It handles the heavy lifting of understanding text so that AI doesn't have to guess.
  • RiskRunners.com (The Proof): A static site powered by LinguaLint that analyzes 10-K reports from publicly traded companies. It categorizes risk factors into Event Codes and Industries, allowing for the creation of "hedged" portfolios based on specific exposures (e.g., Supply Chain risks, Geopolitical shifts).
  • Indigenous Accessibility (The Goal): Developing "just-enough-AI" tools for browsers that allow for Indigenous language linting and schema integration, ensuring these languages are first-class citizens of the web.

Why Sponsor?

I am using a "Patagonia Model" for software.
The core technology is open (AGPL), but the commercial application is vast. By sponsoring, you are supporting a unique ecosystem where financial intelligence funds cultural preservation.

  • For Developers & Linguists: You are supporting open-source tools that make the web more inclusive.
  • For Investors & Institutions: You are gaining early insight into a tool capable of deep semantic risk analysis.

Sponsorship Tiers

$10 / month - The Believer
You support the mission to preserve Indigenous languages. You get my eternal thanks and a badge on your profile. You’re helping keep the lights on while I build the infrastructure.

$100 / month - The Early Adopter
Access to early builds and updates on LinguaLint. You are following the development of the semantic calculus engine closely and want to see how it evolves before the rest of the market does.

$10,000 (One-time) - The Keynote / Consultant
"The Deep Dive."
I will come to your conference, boardroom, or firm to speak about the intersection of Semantic Calculus, Risk Intelligence, and Linguistic Preservation.

  • Perfect for Hedge Funds, Investment Firms, or Tech Conferences looking for a unique angle on AI and Ethics.
  • Includes a deep-dive consulting session on how RiskRunners logic can be applied to your specific portfolio.
  • Note: Travel expenses to be negotiated separately.
