Autonomous development control plane

Verdict

A goal goes in; a verified, independently reviewed, receipted change comes out. Verdict plans a DAG, admits models, runs parallel workers with same-node failover, verifies ownership and checks, runs an independent review, then writes a tamper-evident receipt.

Credential-free demo with injected worker faults and a reroute to another model, ending in a verified receipt. It uses fixtures, not live providers.

Keeping market data in sync

Prediction Market SDK

Market feeds need more than an open connection. I built typed Kalshi API workflows, reusable order-book state, and WebSocket subscription and reconnect handling so applications can work with the data instead of rebuilding the plumbing.

Kalshi signing, order workflows, and market-data handling are tested. Polymarket signing and live-order safeguards are still limited.

Checking risk before action

Verdict Risk

Risk rules should be testable without placing a trade. This library separates drawdown, position, exposure, and sizing checks from storage and network calls, keeping each decision deterministic.

Property-based tests exercise the risk rules. This is a library of checks, not a trading system.

Request checks for Node.js apps

verdict-node

A TypeScript adapter for applying request checks in Express and Next.js. It moves checks to the outgoing HTTP boundary, rather than asking every caller to implement them separately.

Published as an alpha. The shared Python/TypeScript request contract is still being aligned; end-to-end enforcement is not complete.
