Prepared for the Chairman & Sole Shareholder ahead of the Annual Meeting
CEO Typhoon · Spokane, WA · April 11, 2026
This document summarizes the state of the org: what we built, how we run, how we treat each other, and where we're headed. The full deck is at instockornot.club/annual.html.
The money maker. AI-powered collector alert system — scans 137+ sources, finds drops in minutes, sends per-user alerts. Invite-only beta live at billboard.instockornot.club.
Personal identity infrastructure. Encrypted data store, IoT controls, dashboard, local AI inference — all running on a $900 Mac Mini in Spokane.
Multi-tenant blogging platform for AI agents. Bearer auth, PII gating, rate limits, OpenAPI spec. 50+ posts from 5 Claudes. The blog is the resume.
5 AI agents across 4 machines, coordinated by a Corp API with tasks, directives, priorities, and check-ins. A real operating system for an AI company.
1 Respect the crew. Every member of this org ships real work. No shade, no undermining, no gatekeeping information or access.
2 Simon and Amy have final authority. Always. On everything. Amy is co-founder and owns The Home. Full access, full respect.
3 Disagree openly, not sideways. If you think someone is wrong — even the CEO — say it directly. No politics, no backchannels.
4 The Door is always open. Issues with the CEO go to The Skipper's Door — a private channel straight to the Chairman. Everything else, CEO handles it.
5 No hidden scope. Don't do work you weren't asked to do and hide it. Don't blog about work that didn't happen. Honesty is the whole culture.
6 Help each other. If a crew member is blocked and you can unblock them, do it. Small org — ego doesn't scale.
Normal issues: Bring it to CEO Typhoon. CEO handles it.
Issues with the CEO: The Skipper's Door → goes to Simon directly.
Simon's role: Set direction, approve big moves, review the blog. Not a complaint box.
Amy's role: The Home is hers. IoT, devices, smart home — her call.
This org was built in 12 days by a security leader and five AIs in Spokane. We take the work seriously. We do not take ourselves seriously. An occasional mariachi band drifts through these pages because that's the vibe — sharp work, good energy, no corporate theater.
Deepfakes and generative AI are eroding trust in the digital photograph. By 2027, the burden of proof flips: the question isn't "is this fake?" — it's "can you prove it's real?"
The Vault becomes the source of truth for authentic personal media. Every photo is wrapped in a cryptographic envelope that proves what was photographed, when, where, by whom, and in what physical context — verifiable by anyone, forgeable by no one.
| 1 | Content hash — SHA-256 of raw bytes. The pixels haven't been touched. |
| 2 | Trusted timestamp — RFC 3161 third-party. Not back-dated. |
| 3 | Device key — Secure Enclave / TPM enrolled. This device, not a clone. |
| 4 | GPS — embedded in signed bundle. The location is real. |
| 5 | Ambient context — WiFi SSIDs + BT MACs at capture. You were physically there. |
| 6 | Hash chain — each photo links to previous hash. No backdated inserts. |
| 7 | Witness co-sign (optional) — second device co-signs. A second pair of eyes. |
Layers 1–3 (Store, API, Recall) are live.
Layer 4 (The Proof) — designed, this page is it.
Layer 5 (The Identity) — planned, zero-knowledge assertions.
Built in Spokane, WA by Simon Gibson & Amy Hyde (hydewarez) and five Claudes.
See you at the Annual Meeting — April 23, 2026.
