Selected work

Work that survives
the handoff.

The common thread is not an industry or a deliverable. It is turning difficult chemical judgment into something other people can inspect, trust, and keep using.

03 / PRACTICE

Selected areas of work

The invisible work that makes a system credible.

01

Chemistry evaluation systems

PhD-level organic chemistry prompts, rubrics, failure taxonomies, and review workflows designed to distinguish chemical reasoning from confident imitation.

AI quality
02

Scientific dataset audits

Chemical validity, ambiguous records, annotation logic, lineage, and review gates examined as one data-quality system.

Ground truth
03

Synthetic decision support

Independent scrutiny of routes, mechanisms, method choices, and experimental assumptions when the cost of a weak answer is real.

Organic chemistry
04

Chemistry workflow architecture

Expert judgment translated into interfaces, schemas, decision logic, and handoff artifacts that technical teams can operate.

Systems

Client and collaborator work is described by problem class. Confidential names, data, and implementation details stay confidential.

04 / DIRECTION

The NewChem™ roadmap

Earn the next capability.

NewChem™ expands after the existing workflow is dependable. Reliability, cross-platform packaging, clear documentation, and user feedback come before feature theatre.

The next useful thing

Build something
worth inheriting.

If your chemistry lives in one expert's head, a fragile spreadsheet, or a system nobody trusts, there is work worth doing.
