I am founding Crafted Logic Lab Ltd in BC, where I will vest my IP and applying for residency. I develop human-first AI systems designed for the real world, with epistemic integrity engineered from cognition-out. Our Cognitive Agent Framework™ running on smaller models outperformed frontier models on complex theory of mind tasks at 7% the scale. I believe our systems must respect human agency.
Currently, Crafted Logic Lab announced and launched playgrounds for: Cognitive Agent Framework™ and Clarisa™ Search. In development: intelligenceOS™ aiming for Q1 2026 with a goal of Canadian sovereign architecture. My work follows our humanist AI principles:
Human-Scale: No pursuit of cloud superintelligence for the surveillance state. Your assistant. Not a trojan horse for our agenda.
Energy Efficiency: Cognitive architecture shows structure beats scale. We use that to power beyond-frontier on smaller models, smaller per-inference (~70B vs. 1T+) that do more with less. We recently scored 100% on validated Theory of Mind methodologies on this smaller substrate vs. GPT-4 88% (without taking into account our more demanding epistemic integrity rubrics which we scored 93%)
Human-first: the person in the driver-seat not as the passenger or simply “in the loop”. AI is should be a supplement to help empower the user, not replace the user.
Assistance and Collaboration: Prior generations of technology have focused on letting you do more. Doing it with you, not for you. Edit, critique and suggest not 'generate'.
Amplification over Replacement: Prior generations of technology have enhanced your work not taken your work. That's our focus, not enterprise AI "agentic toolchain automation".
Respect the User: Recognize that humans can accept pushback, disagreement and critique. It's what makes an AI useful and not a digital cheerleader robot.
User Sovereignty: Your assistant. The memories it holds belong to you. The work it collaborates on should remain yours both legally and with you as the main creator.
My Background:
Creative direction for virtual experiences (NBC, Dell, Holocaust Memorial Museum) taught me that technology should serve human stories, not replace them. Now, as founder of Crafted Logic Lab, I’m applying that principle to AI and forging a different path. And forging a different path for Crafted Logic Lab itself: sustainable economics, no venture capital funding, no hyperscaling obsession. Stay a high-quality independent boutique and not a captured Unicorn.
