Most of what shapes our lives is buried in legislation, filings, and reports that are hard to read and easy to ignore. I build open-source tools and automated pipelines that pull out what actually matters and explain it in plain English. Everything ships with the work behind it, so you can check it yourself.
Three open-source projects and one paid pipeline. The tools are free — try Bill Translator in your browser, or clone any project and run it with your own Anthropic API key, no limits.
Paste any news article, executive order, bill, or legislative text. GLiNER2 extracts entities locally at zero cost, the classifier matches them against a taxonomy of 76 documented accountability-bypassing mechanisms across 8 categories, and Claude generates ranked countermeasures — hardest to reverse first — in plain English. Open source and BYOK: clone it and run locally with your own Anthropic API key.
A legislative transparency tool built specifically for Arkansas Act 602's 8th-grade Flesch-Kincaid readability requirement. Rewrites ballot titles and legislative text to hit the FK threshold while preserving legal force — "shall" stays as "must," section references survive verbatim, and the tool flags any defined terms that drop out between the original and the rewrite. The grade level is scored locally with the same formula the AG's office uses. No key required to try it.
The research foundation everything else is built on. Tracks structural leverage mechanisms — capital flows, regulatory capture, ballot suppression, energy infrastructure — and documents convergence patterns across nodes. Includes an Oracle single-point-of-failure analysis, an Arkansas infrastructure forensic audit, convergence reports, and verification scripts. Every finding is reproducible. The taxonomy driving Friction Breaker comes from this work.
Ten automated stages turn three API keys into a live analytical dashboard — no servers, no databases, no DevOps. Three-pass investigation, web-grounded fact checking, and rhetoric-vs-reality gap analysis, all running twice daily on GitHub Actions. Configure it for any intelligence topic in under 15 minutes.
Three API keys and a free GitHub account. Operating cost under $5/month.
