A small company that automated its own factory first.

Some context, because our older work is still easy to find and describes a different company. NamiQ began in Vietnam, where the founder spent five years building an AI business after two decades building software at enterprise scale. The company is now a US company — NamiQ LLC, Austin, Texas — and what it sells today is narrower and more specific than what it sold then. That earlier work is real, and this is where it went.

What carried over was the question, which had nothing to do with products: if AI agents can write software, what has to be true for the output to be trustworthy at volume?

The answer turned out to be process, not model capability. Gates that block. Metrics recomputed rather than reported. Being blocked made loud instead of quiet. Claims that cannot be made until a probe proves them. That process became ODSF, and it is the factory every engagement we take on runs on.

The first thing it built was OCO — a cyber knowledge graph for organisations that have to defend an estate without a security team, and that cannot send their data anywhere.

We are deliberately small. A founder, a Technical Architect and a Forward Deployed Engineer make the decisions that need judgement, with agents doing the work that does not — and a written record of which was which.
