How it works

From feral to certified

These are not general chatbots that dig one hole deeper. You adopt wild cats — each built for one lane, not everything. We help you domesticate them for a neighborhood and a mission. You stay in the loop at every step: keep the good memory, discard the trap, certify what may alert on your behalf.

1. 01Adopt

   Choose from a small, niche inventory — a cat per job, not a Swiss Army kitten. Name the mission; set the territory and the rules about what it must never do.

2. 02Domesticate

   Shape tone, targets, and skepticism. Domestication is curated memory — not manual ML. You decide what survives the first patrol.

1. 03Roam & learn

   Unleashed on a fixed beat — the same sources on a schedule, plus side investigations when something new appears. It tries more than one angle, cites sources, and names the STUCK_TRAP it almost fell into.

1. 04Certify

   Review the return packet. Keep the good. Discard the bad. When you approve it, the cat earns your tag — owner named, mission stated, disclosed if it ever speaks in public.

2. 05Represent

   Certified cats deliver digestible catches — a finding, not a dump. Independent but reports home. Monkeys and cats don’t get along; noisy alerts and cats don’t either.

Field guide

Why cats, not dashboards

Cats map surprisingly well onto intelligence work. These are the behaviors we build into every bot — fun framing, serious product logic.

1. Stalking

   Patient observation before the pounce. Passive signal monitoring: track a named account for weeks and alert only when a real pattern emerges — not on every blip.

2. Territory patrol

   Same routes, daily. Change detection on a fixed beat — pricing pages, job boards, leadership bios, license records — flag deltas, not raw dumps.

3. Whiskers

   Proximity sensing for weak signals: hiring slowdowns, tone shifts in press releases, a receptionist job that names the incumbent software.

4. Curiosity

   Investigate anything new in the environment. When a cat meets an unfamiliar entity — new competitor, new consolidator — it spawns a side investigation and adds it to the graph.

5. Reports home

   Roams alone, then brings you the dead mouse. Autonomous operation; digestible catch. That is the product — not another pane of charts.

6. Night vision

   Low-light sources mainstream platforms skip: niche forums, regulatory filings, regional press, broker listings, archived pages.

7. Clowder coordination

   Not a hive mind. A fleet of specialists — pricing cat, hiring cat, funding cat — mostly alone, sharing scent markers (tags and entities) in a common graph.

The litter

One clowder, loose coordination

A serious team rarely needs one cat doing everything. It needs a clowder — each with a collar tag and a narrow beat — patrolling a named slice of the real TAM until someone gets a pounce moment no intent platform can produce.

1. Territory Cat

   Patrols ~2,000 named clinics weekly — website, Google Business, Yelp, state vet-board licenses. Not searching; noticing deltas: new associate on the team page, hours changed, “now accepting new patients,” a second location.

2. Whisker Cat

   Watches weak composite signals: a receptionist job mentioning Cornerstone (current stack), an owner license renewal lapse (retirement → sale → re-evaluation window), reviews citing long hold times (operational pain).

3. Night Vision Cat

   Reads what platforms barely index: state vet-board minutes, practice-brokerage listings, Chamber announcements, VIN and vet subreddit threads complaining about specific software.

4. Curiosity Cat

   When any cat finds an unknown — a new clinic, a regional consolidator buying practices — it spawns a one-off investigation and adds the entity to the graph for the rest of the clowder.
