US Tech Automations Research

We publish negative results as well as successful ones. A research-stage concept is not presented as a product until its evidence, safety, economics, and stranger-buyer gates pass.

Reliability product research

These four programs test narrow products against explicit kill criteria. Buyers can submit a matching process. The automation platform itself is available through public pricing and Stripe checkout today.

Order-independent domain merge

Evidence collection

No schema class is commercially admitted. We are looking for buyer-controlled writers, frozen invariants, and a merge law that can be tested across adversarial schedules.

Locally completed physical kernels

Evidence collection

No kernel is commercially admitted. A candidate must displace bulk freight while local matter remains embodied and supplies an essential functional property.

Sealed public-data reports

We pull residential building-permit records from public city data portals every day, normalize them, and seal each day's file with a content hash in a tamper-evident store. Once a month we publish what the sealed data says. Every number in every report traces to a sealed snapshot — nothing is estimated, modeled, or backfilled.

Current edition: 2026-08 6,136 permits worth $891.6M across 8 metros, window July 24, 2026 – August 22, 2026.

For machines and citations

Every report ships a machine-readable twin at /research-data/<slug>.csv and /research-data/<slug>.json, listed in /research-data/index.json. The raw permit corpus is browsable at permits.ustechautomations.com. When citing a report, use its canonical URL and the sealed-snapshot sha256 printed in its "Cite this report" block.
