AlphaCapture
A lot of good investment thinking gets buried in research, emails and conversations. I'm building AlphaCapture to pull out the actual idea, keep track of where it came from and see what happened to it.
With Harkster, I was organising the research. With AlphaCapture, I want to get at the thinking inside it: what is the view, how might you trade it, and what would need to happen? Then come back later and work out what held up, what didn't, and whether the timing or the way you traded it made the difference.
I'm still building the private product. The free Research Directory is already live, with official institutions, independent analysts and specialist providers in one place.
A shopkeeper's handbook for the processes behind online payments — refunds, disputes, failures, access and everything that happens after checkout.
Shelved
Hop
A link that carries value as it is forwarded through people.
Interesting mechanic; distribution and verification looked harder than the value it created.
Professional Memory
A lightweight way for chats, agents and coding sessions to leave behind a useful record of what changed, what was decided and what might be worth sharing.
Still a good idea, but AI agent harnesses are developing too quickly to know whether a separate product is needed. Parked until that becomes clearer.
