An open operating system for machines you own

Europe's Cyber Resilience Act now makes manufacturers answer for the security of every connected product. The only trust claims that survive that kind of scrutiny are ones anyone can read and check, rooted in keys the owner holds in hardware.

Cloud concentration in the agent era

Three providers take close to two thirds of the world's cloud infrastructure spend, and regulators in the EU and UK are still working out what to do about it. Agents raise the stakes, because an agent's compute, mail, payments and record can all end up with one provider.

Cross-border payouts at agent speed

The G20 will miss most of its 2027 targets for cheaper, faster cross-border payments, and remittance costs have barely moved. When software starts paying across borders, those costs stop being a policy disappointment and become an engineering problem that can be routed around.

Edge cells: running AI where the machines are

Three 2025 cloud outages and a national blackout showed what happens when everything depends on a distant link. Running compute in homes, businesses and districts as cells that govern themselves is a practical answer on resilience, energy, data locality and latency.

Power is the new capacity limit

The constraint on AI compute has moved from the chip to the connection. What is scarce now is electricity that has been secured, placed and measured, and the operators who can account for every watt will set the pace.

Praecise Furcate: machines that keep working

As agents begin to read and act on physical sites, the question is who holds authority over the machines when the network is gone. Furcate is the open operating system that keeps that authority in hardware keys on site, and Praecise Furcate is the hardware, operations and support Praecise builds on it.

The record is the control

Regulators and standards bodies already require AI systems to keep logs. For agents that act on someone's behalf, the record is more than a compliance artefact: it is the mechanism that makes delegation safe in the first place.

Who allowed the spend?

Card networks, Google, Coinbase and stablecoin regulators are each building a piece of how agents pay. The control that matters most is simpler than any of them: a limit the owner set, and a record of every payment made under it.
