Truth Computing

Applied AI research & engineering

Truth Computing

We study how AI systems can reason, retrieve evidence, and act reliably in environments where mistakes are expensive.

We turn that research into working systems in law, healthcare, education, and other high-consequence domains.

A person stays in the loop on every decision the system makes.

By invitation. We take on a small number of engagements at a time.

Two sides of Truth Computing

Truth Computing builds systems, and explains the world they operate in.

Research & Engineering

We build and evaluate AI systems for domains where mistakes have real consequences.

What we do

Research first, then a working system, then the hardening that lets you trust it.

We go inside a domain, find the question that is hardest to get right, and study it before we build. Different engagements move at different speeds, some are still in evaluation, others are already carrying real work.

Days

We sit with your team and find where the current system breaks.

Weeks to months

We build and evaluate a prototype against the failure cases we found.

Then

Where the evidence holds up, we harden it and put a human approval gate on every consequential action.

Live today

Two systems you can visit right now.

Technical capabilities

The categories of work behind the projects above, each linked to a real artifact.

01

AI Systems & Evaluation

Building and grading evaluation sets that test whether a retrieval system holds up against contradiction, poisoned context, and provenance traps.

  • Benchmarking
  • RAG Evaluation
  • Adversarial Testing

02

Applied Machine Learning

Institutional research on evaluation and retrieval, alongside founder-led personal research on curriculum RL, model steering, and decision-making under uncertainty — kept clearly labeled by provenance.

  • Retrieval
  • Evaluation
  • Founder Research

03

Systems Engineering

Backend, workflow, and consent architecture for systems carrying real work — including the state/schema gate, send-path gate, and audit trail built for Truth Computing Health.

  • Backend
  • Consent Architecture
  • Audit Systems

See the system record ›

04

Reliability Engineering

Human approval gates, provenance evaluation, adversarial testing, tamper-evident audit trails, and explicit failure-state boundaries.

  • Human Approval Gates
  • Tamper-Evident Audit
  • Failure Boundaries

Truth Computing Media

Reporting and documentary work about technology, infrastructure, cities, institutions, and the people affected by them.

Independent field reporting from the same team building the systems.

Shipping log

Real, dated events. Nothing here is inferred.

This log only includes technical events with a real, sourced date from our own records; company formation and administrative/cosmetic updates are tracked elsewhere, not padded in here.

What we stand for

Human in the loop

You stay in control, always.

Our products keep a human in the loop by default. You decide what runs on its own and what waits for your approval. Full automation is available, and it stays off until you turn it on.

One concrete example, scoped to that system only: in Truth Computing Health's clinical workflow architecture, a message held in the CLINICAL_HOLD state can only be released by an optometrist (OD). This describes that system's architecture, not a claim generalized to every Truth Computing system — see the system record.

How we build

Built so you can check the work.

Trust

We show you the evidence behind what we tell you — see the research record and shipping log.

Reliability

Tested against contradiction, provenance traps, and poisoned context in the adversarial legal/crypto benchmark.

Privacy

Your data stays yours. Local-first design, where that is the design — see the privacy posture.

Security

We assume someone is trying to break it — the benchmark's poisoned documents are built to be mistaken for authority, and the system must refuse to cite them.

Auditability

Truth Computing Health's CLINICAL_HOLD transitions are logged in a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail — see the reliability architecture.

Matthew studied the systems, statistics, and theory this work rests on at Stanford.

Our team has worked on systems, product, and growth at Google, Microsoft, Stanford AI Lab, Stanford Medicine, and Synchrony.

The team

Built by a small team. Meet them

Our focus

Our attention belongs to the clients we serve.

We are currently working in education, healthcare, and law: three fields where a software mistake reaches a person directly.
