Independent systems

Systems I originated, built, govern, and deployed

Targeted Impressions Labs is where fourteen years of lessons become inspectable products and protocols.

SERPRadio

Production

The flagship production proof: live NYC flight-market route intelligence you can inspect, not just read about.

What is live
Production — live route-state, airport and corridor views, and source-freshness governance.
What I owned
Product architecture, programmatic publishing, performance, and governance.
What it proves
Concept to governed production system — the model working where it can be inspected.

VIBEnet

Active R&D

The perception protocol: a Signal Contract plus multiple renderers so humans can supervise autonomous systems without dashboard overload.

What is live
Active R&D — protocol, demos, adapters, and developer material live at vibenet.ai.
What I owned
Protocol design, Signal Contract, and reference adapters.
What it proves
Making autonomous system state perceptible — the oversight layer for agentic systems.

Constitutional CMS

Open source

The governance layer: an open framework for what AI agents may publish, extracted from production publishing systems.

What is live
Open source — reference contracts, validators, and worked examples.
What I owned
The governance model, contract vocabulary, and validation harness.
What it proves
Governing what autonomous systems may publish — discipline as infrastructure.

CMO Soundtrack

Private beta

A commercial adapter exploring how the same signal and timing model translates into operator experience.

What is live
Private beta — waitlist open.
What I owned
Concept, product framing, and the signal-to-experience adapter.
What it proves
The signal architecture generalizing beyond search into commercial experience.
