House of Mont
The parent institution — a home for original thinking. Ideas, ventures and research get scattered across disconnected sites, drafts and notebooks.

Dynamic Token Verification
Verifiable identity for a synthetic world. Static credentials and one-time tokens can't keep up with deepfakes, session hijacking and automated fraud.
- Open →Business
Sentinel Phone Security
A guardian layer for the device you trust most. Phones hold everything — banking, identity, memories — yet consumer security is fragmented and reactive.
- Open →Business
MatchMyLane
Bringing intent-based matching to the road. Drivers and passengers are matched on geography, not on temperament or route intent.
- Open →Business
Manifesto Integrity
Holding institutions to the words they publish. Manifestos, charters and mission statements are written to be forgotten. There's no infrastructure to hold them accountable.
- Open →Business
Veritas Integrity
Provenance for claims, evidence and revision. Once a claim is published it drifts, gets edited, and loses its provenance. Nothing tracks its lineage.
- Open →Business
Doctor & Engineer Daily
A briefing at the intersection of medicine and machines. Clinicians and engineers work on the same problems from opposite sides and rarely share vocabulary.
- Open →Business
AI Legal First Aid
Triage-grade legal guidance in the first ten minutes. Most people meet the law during a crisis, with no idea what to do in the first minutes that matter most.
- Open →Business
Glitchlets
A game economy built on delightful imperfection. Modern game economies are optimised into sterility. The magic of quirks is missing.
- Open →Business
Pedal & Progress
Cycling as a discipline of momentum. Fitness content treats cycling as cardio, not as a philosophy of progress.
- Open →Business
The Secret Grill
A supper club that refuses to be a restaurant. Restaurants scale by removing the reason people came in the first place.
- Open →Business
Organic Scottish Soap Company
Craft soap, sourced from a single landscape. Most 'natural' soap is globally sourced and locally rebranded.
- Open →Business
Kelpies Caps
Headwear inspired by Scottish myth. National symbolism gets flattened into tourist merch.
- Open →Thesis
Provenance as Infrastructure
Claims without provenance are noise. This thesis argues that provenance should be treated as core public infrastructure, not an editorial afterthought.
- Open →Thesis
Verification in a Synthetic World
As synthesis becomes trivial, verification becomes the scarce resource. This thesis proposes short-lived, context-bound tokens as the primitive of trust.
- Open →Thesis
Behaviour-First Matching
Most matching systems optimise geography and preference. This thesis argues that behaviour — how a person actually acts inside the interaction — should be the primary axis.
- Open →Framework
The Claim–Evidence–Revision Loop
A working method for turning private opinion into public reasoning that can be tested and updated.
- Open →Framework
Institution-First Thinking
A rule for founders: design the institution before you design the product.
- Open →Research
Behavioural signatures in shared spaces
Ongoing work on how people signal compatibility non-verbally in cars, queues and small rooms.

The decay of public records
Measuring how quickly public statements lose their link to source, and what that costs.
