We don’t only advise on AI. We build with it.

Three instruments, built in-house, on our own time and at our own risk. All three are running in production, and each one is written up here in the open, even on the one that is an internal tool rather than a public site.

What we have built

Soma LC — marked by rule, never by judgement.

A student can find out what a written Leaving Certificate answer is worth before an examiner ever sees it, and get the same answer every time they ask. Two examiners marking the same paragraph will not agree with each other, and a language model asked twice will not agree with itself. The marking engine never asks for a judgement, so it cannot disagree with one.

TFI Coverage Map — four networks, one screen, live.

Irish Rail, Luas, every TFI bus route and Dublin Bikes, built on Transport for Ireland’s open data, with schedules reconciled against live vehicle positions rather than shown beside them. GTFS-Realtime ingestion, R-tree spatial indexing so an interchange resolves as one physical place, sub-50ms queries, and no install step.

FortiConfig Viewer — firewall rules you can actually review.

An open-source FortiGate config viewer, extended with linked port and service lookups, rule-by-rule OK / Moderate / Bad review with exportable Markdown compliance reports, and shared config loading from S3 alongside the original's local file upload. Built for reviewing a firewall rule base the way it actually gets reviewed: one rule at a time, with the review sitting next to the rule it is about.

All three were built by the same practice that does the consulting, on the same architecture standards we apply to client programmes. If there is something you want built rather than advised on, that is the conversation to start.

Something you want built, not advised on?

Independent architecture practice, based in Cork, working on national programmes across Ireland and the UK.
