The Studio.
Four programs. One Foundry. Same three artifacts — Identity, Trade, Neuron — tailored four ways for the rhythms of academia, industry, governance, and community.
The four programs.
3 artifacts × 4 programs = 12 tailored configurations
academia · live
Jinnahnook
Schools, universities, research labs.
Verifiable scholarship — credentials, grants, and research agents the institution can audit end-to-end.
industry · in development
Paceplug
Startups, scale-ups, operating companies.
Employment, equity, escrowed deal flow — verifiable across the lifecycle of a private company.
governance · in development
Cliffhase
Ministries, agencies, public bodies.
Transparent procurement, citizen petitions, policy summaries — sovereignty by audit trail.
community · in development
Acmecase
Neighborhoods, cooperatives, mutual aid.
Mutual aid, local commerce, attestation-based membership — a commons with receipts.
Same wire format. Same audit posture. Different vocabularies. A program is a typed configuration of the Foundry — which credentials Identity issues, which paradigms Trade enables, which tools Neuron's agent may dispatch — bundled with domain- specific lexicons, a curated set of reference solutions, and a visual identity.
about this studio
We run this as a workshop, not a startup. Each phase has a clear plan, a budget, and an end date. When a phase finishes, we publish what we did and move on to the next one.
All four programs share the same three artifacts. Releases ship dated and signed. The goal is something durable, not something fast.
Collaborators come through the Fellowship of the Forge — universities, other studios, and individual builders, both human and AI. Paying clients come through Studio engagements.

studio · for clients
Build your product on the Foundry. Keep your brand on the surface.
The Foundry is open infrastructure. The Studio is the workshop that runs it. When you bring a product idea that needs sovereign identity, signed commerce, or consent-gated AI, we build it on top of the same three protocols that power our reference apps — but the result lives under YOUR brand, on YOUR domain, with YOUR Lexicons.
Custom Lexicons
Your domain. Your record types.
We design and ship a private Lexicon extension scoped to your business — `acme.invoice@1`, `acme.consent@1`, whatever your records need to look like. Validated by the same engine that ships in `@kashscript/lexicons`, but versioned and governed by your team.
- Typed records across every surface — web, mobile, partner API.
- Forward-compatible semver gates upgrades; old clients keep reading old records.
- JSON-Schema export for any non-TypeScript consumer.
White-labelled Foundry
Foundry-as-infrastructure.
We deploy a Foundry instance under your brand — your registry, your hosted PDS, your witness pool. The Studio operates it under SLA; your users see a single, branded experience. The protocols are open-source; the operations are paid.
- Branded registry + hosted PDS — your customers never see `kashscript.com`.
- Per-DID licence tiers your billing system controls.
- Operations runbook + on-call escalation handled by the Studio.
Integration sprints
From `kash add` to launch in 6 weeks.
A fixed-scope engagement: we install the three artifacts into your existing codebase via the injection engine, wire the Bento UI primitives, train your team, and run a launch sprint. Walk in with a Next.js app; walk out with did:ks sign-in, signed transactions, and an AI surface that reads your real data.
- Working `kash login` → `kash add identity` → `kash add trade` flow in week 1.
- Custom Lexicon + onboarded engineers by week 3.
- Production launch + post-launch verify suite (`kash add --verify`) by week 6.
