Problem

Fast markets. Fragmented truth.

One protocol. Multiple implementations. Too many places for meaning to drift.

Research and paper trading — never live orders.

Spec Software Hardware

One meaning, three places to lose it.

01 / 10

Solution

One specification. Deterministic evidence.

Define meaning once. Check every implementation against it.

Proposed go-to-market

Win one difficult protocol first.

A proof-led pilot, not a promise of trading returns.

Summary / ask

Help turn correctness into qualified systems.

Proposed ask

Design partners. Protocol expertise. Qualification hardware.

Next: prove target equivalence and a reproducible paper-only release.
