What makes this different from staff augmentation?

One person with seven specializations unavailable in staff aug. COBOL PICTURE-clause forensic find in 127 minutes that 3 years of external audits missed. 3-5x lower cost for broader coverage.

Is the sovereign inference cluster operational?

Yes. 55 commits ahead of upstream on a production fork of exo (upstream lineage). RDMA ring topology. 389ms P50. AWS Bedrock and Azure OpenAI format-compatible. $26,400/mo cloud inference eliminated.

What audit-trail artifacts does the sovereign inference build produce?

SHA-256 hash-chained chain-of-custody on every inference output. Quality-management-system documentation, bias logs, and human-oversight records with a deterministic event-sourced audit trail, operational now.

The Problem

Enterprise mainframe systems (40-year COBOL codebases) contain undocumented COMP-3 packed-decimal boundary conditions that cause silent data corruption in production. Traditional auditors lack the tooling to detect these — they require manual byte-level forensic analysis.

Approach

Built automated COMP-3 / PICTURE-clause boundary analysis toolchain. Adversarial audit methodology: inject boundary conditions at field level, trace propagation through batch processing chains, surface any silent truncation or overflow. The $2.3M find is a production engagement under NDA. The same failure class is reproduced publicly on a synthetic, fixed-seed corpus — clone and run cobol-pic-probe ($40,812.81 compounding loss, 47,312 records, 31 pytest assertions, no client data).
