View research ->Reclaims HTTP 402 as a payment challenge so agents can settle per-request fees using structured headers and proofs.
View research ->Executive + operational metrics that quantify protected value, resilience, and program health with repeatable math.
View research ->Drafting a global identifier namespace that maps local farm IDs to GS1/EPCIS and EU Digital Product Passport expectations.
View research ->Combines PRA+CIR legal tools with FIAGRO/token rails to open farmland slices to smaller investors without losing custody.
View research ->Anchors commodity financing to GS1 EPCIS checkpoints so soy export tokens stay synchronized with physical inventory.
View research ->A storage-agnostic event model for distributed coordination with deterministic merges, zk-friendly payloads, and adapter-driven deployments.
View research ->Need a tailored brief, diligence report, or on-chain experiment? Drafts typically ship in two-week sprints with open Notion workspaces and recorded synth sessions.
