A one-person software shop building AI systems for conflict intelligence, historical analysis, and governed knowledge graphs.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-20 issue.

Why it surfaced

MergeSeat’s central idea is unusually concrete: agents may write the code, but a human must approve the merge, with a gate that can return exit code 2 and block the model. Its flagship CIP combines multilingual media with observable signals such as strait transits, airspace density, and economic indicators, while the surrounding projects make provenance and refusal part of the machinery rather than slogans.
