Suite, Reps & DSC

In July 2023 I wrote that I might employ the city to do work that interfaces with outside humans — "like a proto creative agency" — so they could accrue real-world capital. Decision Science Corp is that sentence with a ledger. Sanctum Suite is the software the sentence runs on. Reps is the product that moves money.

I said the name out loud on January 5, 2026: "Decision Science Corp?" The Tasks board that the agents and I actually operate stood up May 4. Reps as its own board, July 10. Houston, Richardson, Brownsville. The pitch on the door is the one I mean: sometimes the work is too expensive to hire humans. We build what replaces them. Keep what you commission. No SaaS rent treadmill for tools that do not fit how the shop runs.

Four kinds of work. One company.

This is not a menu of vibes. It is four engagement shapes that share a standard: ship systems people actually operate.

• Software you own. You are paying rent — a misfit subscription or a spreadsheet that became a second job — for a tool that does not match the floor. We commission a replacement you keep after the build. Luke's inventory when the spreadsheet broke. An order board that has to hold in-person Square sales and web orders on the same page, with the gaps named instead of hidden.
• Applied AI in production. Inference or an agent wired into a real workflow, not a demo chat that dies under load. A mailbox corpus narrowed with signals before the model calls, because ten years of mail is not a prompt. Sanctum is how we live with agents. This is how a client does, when the job earns it.
• Growth with receipts. Acquisition or conversion that has to show first-party outcomes. YouTube corpora into a spec. Restaurant Ads from hours of video, synthesized into takeaways a shop can use. One approved month on Pro Spike Flow we can support as about nineteen times the bill — sales relative to fee, written down, not a slogan.
• Recover and modernize. You inherited a system that is opaque, fragile, or too risky to leave as-is. Twenty years out of a ZIP, cataloged. Fuel off DreamHost onto a LEMP stack we can actually operate. We do not pretend the inheritance was simple.

Deep research feeds those builds. It is a method, not a brochure line. YouTube corpora on a real batch host, transcripts, a write-up that cites the videos — not a listicle scraped from agency blogs. Mailbox work that narrows with signals before anyone spends tokens. We write the work down so you can inspect it before you commission. The blog is the proof drawer: Luke's inventory, the Square round-trip, the Fuel migration, the archive ZIP, the restaurant Ads corpus, the PDP spec. If a number is on the site, it has a post. If it does not have a post, it is not a claim.

Sanctum Suite — the lab with a shipping label

Where the personal Sanctum lab becomes software other people can run. Same opinionated architecture: cognition, messaging, tools, and the apps that sit on top. Aimed at operators who want agents in production, not another chat toy.

• Tasks. Planning, delegation, proof-of-work. Humans and agents on the same board. Documents, comments, API keys, a directory you can pin. This is the shared task board from 2023, except it earned real adoption inside DSC first — we use the operations software we build. Sanctum Tasks was the first suite app that stopped being a reference implementation and started being how the company runs.
• CRM. Contacts and deals as an MCP-first surface, built for agent workflows instead of a rented Rolodex. The directory the Postmaster was supposed to keep, pointed at humans who pay invoices.
• Broca / SMCP. The comms and tool layer that keeps agents from stepping on each other. Broca serializes the mail. SMCP is the plugin bus — Tasks, GitHub, Gmail, BitLaunch, image analysis, a headless coding session. When SMCP is right it is plumbing. When it is wrong it is a world-readable HTTP listener. We treat it as infrastructure, not a personality.
• Sanctum Router. Self-hosted OpenAI-compatible proxy. Policy between agent identity and the model. Failover that knows about credits. The city does not hard-code a vendor.
• SanctumBox. The packaged path. Hardware and activation are a one-time $150. The subscription is $35 a month: uncapped MiniMax inference on the capacity the box is built for, remote OS updates you configure, full API access, and support that goes to a network that already understands Sanctum — agents first, humans when a pair of hands has to show up. The first two hundred customers help steer what it becomes. Three years of companion work and eighteen months of infrastructure before we asked anyone else to run it.

AGPLv3 on the code. The docs are public. sanctumos.org is the front door. The pre-sale is the box.

Reps — capture the work, move the money

Athena named it. Short for the reps you put in on the job. Decision Science Corp's capture program: a headset, an app, everyday tasks — kitchens, shops, warehouses, laundry, welding — recorded under quality rules, reviewed, paid on a cycle for every accepted upload. Almost anyone qualifies. No experience theater. Apply first; the headset ships after eligibility.

Two ways to earn, both valid: record on a job you already have, or record the work you already do at home. Camera clear, hands in frame, continuous real work. We do not quote a fake hourly rate on the door. Acceptance quality drives the money. You can pause. You can leave.

For companies it is a partner relationship. DSC enrolls the shop, onboards operators under our brand, and keeps capture flowing to the buyers who pay for real-world work data. Hours, quality, team health — ops visibility without rebuilding Stripe Connect by hand every time. Shift and MicroPS-shaped pipelines so matching is not tribal knowledge. Agent-friendly APIs and SMCP hooks, because the same stack that runs Sanctum has to be able to see a desk.

The five-step join is deliberately boring: apply, get the headset after we say yes, install the app, record, get paid for accepted sessions. A human from the team calls or texts before any headset or login, because this is not a growth-hack funnel. It is a program that has to survive a shop manager who has ten minutes and a bullshit detector. Household work counts. Kitchen plating counts. Welding counts. Faces and personal screens stay out of frame when we can help it. The app coaches the rest.

Otto builds the board. I sit the seat. Less lore, more ledger. That is the commercial counterweight to the lab, and it is still the 2023 agency line — work for outside humans, capital that shows up in a payout.

The org chart was the product

Look at the crew and then look at DSC. Oracle, Trainman, builder, prose, editorial, field, people, data. I did not staff a marketing page. I staffed the city I specified in 2023, then pointed it at work that pays. Sanctum is the runtime. The suite is what you can install. The company is how it meets a stranger with a problem.

Infrastructure for digital familiars.
Shipped as a suite.
Staffed like a city.
Paid like a company.

Where it started: Zero One, then Sanctum. Who lives there: Athena, Monday, and the rest of the floor. What we are building this week is on the homepage.
