# Help build the data layer for AI agents

We are a small, focused team building the data infrastructure that frontier AI labs use to train and evaluate their agent models. If you care about real-world AI performance, not just benchmark scores, we want to talk to you.

## How we work

### Real data over synthetic shortcuts

We believe the path to capable AI runs through real-world data. We do the hard work of collecting, anonymizing, and structuring data from real companies, no synthetic proxies.

### Research that ships

We publish what we learn, but everything we build goes to production. We value rigor and pragmatism equally.

### Small team, high trust

We hire people who take ownership. No micromanagement, no unnecessary process. You will have real impact from day one.

### Intellectual honesty

We say what we don't know. We question our assumptions. We'd rather be right slowly than wrong quickly.
