Who We Are Working With

Northeastern has been instrumental in the development of this platform

Through several semesters of collaboration with their Experiential Network. We have worked with multiple student cohorts and iterative research cycles. We have compiled a comprehensive pool of resources, regulatory documents, operational case studies, and market analyses.

Northeastern research has focused on

  • Compliance and regulatory frameworks across multiple jurisdictions, including comparative analysis of permitting, labor standards, and sourcing requirements
  • Supply chain mapping and operational analysis, from raw material origins through regional processing, manufacturing, and distribution models
  • Demographic and market research to better understand workforce availability, community impact, and regional demand dynamics
  • International best practices and comparative analysis of similar textile, fiber, and regional manufacturing initiatives

These resources now form the foundational research infrastructure upon which our current platform, methodology, and ongoing evaluation frameworks are built.

Where Are We Now

There are several versions of the platform that are now being consolidated into a fully working model

Multiple Versions

There are several versions that form a working core that need to be consolidated into one

Data

Data handling works locally and with your own sources in parts that need to be unified

Frameworks

Frameworks exist and work across builds but are spread across repositories

Analysis

Core analysis and AI synthesis both work but live in separate versions and need to be joined

Experience

Workspace pieces work individually and need to be streamlined into one cohesive flow

From Working Pieces to Running Platform

The working pieces exist. The frameworks run, data handling is local and the workspace is usable. Right now it lives across several GitHub repos.

We are now consolidating those pieces into one stable operating model that can be piloted live.

We are looking for people to build it with us and stay to run it. UX and UI to make it clear. Frontend and backend to make it solid.

Builders who want to help operate the SaaS after launch, not just ship it.
