AI Analytics
An independent research and engineering studio. We build measurement infrastructure for the open internet, primary-source federal reference systems, post-quantum communications, and local news infrastructure. Operating since 2020.
Five flagship projects span different domains: an internet-censorship observatory across 200 countries (Voidly), a unified reference for US federal regulatory data (US Federal Regulatory Data Hub), a post-quantum encryption SDK for autonomous drone fleets (Swarm), a local news network of 59 publications across 45 cities (Nexcom), and a library of long-form technical writing. Beyond the flagships we run an OSINT pipeline at scale, statistical election-anomaly tooling, topic guides to the federal data, and intelligence briefs. Work is self-directed and cross-domain by design.
Voidly stats from the live measurement network; federal-data stats refreshed at build time from api.ai-analytics.org/coverage; Nexcom counts reflect current property inventory.
Projects
- Voidly — Global Censorship IndexOpen data · CC BY 4.0
- Real-time, evidence-backed measurement of internet censorship across 200 countries. ML-based detection of throttling, DPI filtering, and routed BGP blocks; 7-day shutdown forecasting; a public dataset purpose-built for journalism, research, and human-rights work. 2.2 billion network measurements, 1,574 verified incidents catalogued to date. Probes across 37+ autonomous-system vantage points. A companion index, Verboten, extends the same mandate from the network to the printed page — 19,283 books banned or restricted across 119 countries, each ban dated, source-cited, and queryable.
- US Federal Regulatory Data HubOpen data · CC0 1.0
- Unified reference for US federal regulatory records — SEC, FDA, OFAC, DOJ, EPA, CFPB, IRS, USAspending, NHTSA, FAA, CFTC, FEMA, NOAA, CDC, NIST, and 30+ other agencies. 208 datasets, 50.8M+ canonical record URLs, daily refresh, REST + JSON-LD + Model Context Protocol surfaces. One query returns every regulatory event for a company across all datasets — example: ExxonMobil cross-agency timeline.
- Swarm SDK — Post-Quantum Drone EncryptionProprietary
- Python SDK for encrypted communications between drones and counter-UAS systems. ML-KEM-768 + X25519 hybrid key exchange, MAVLink v2 transport, gossip-mesh routing, forward secrecy and key rotation under contested-RF conditions. CNSA 2.0 compliant. 465 tests across seven encryption modes; Python 3.9 through 3.13.
- Nexcom — Local News Infrastructure
- Nexcom Inc. builds and operates 24 local and specialty news properties across Texas and Florida — briefings, not feeds. Fifteen cities served across nine Cloudflare Workers sites and six Webflow CMS properties. Six specialty verticals including Veterans News, Latinas Media, and Voz Hispano. No tracking, no algorithmic manipulation, no infinite scroll. Also at nexcom.media.
