About Carbyde

A small firm that builds its own methods, and publishes the numbers they produce.

Approach

Built, Not Bought

Most of what we sell runs on something we wrote. Ashfall drives the password work. TALUS, our own process, is the method behind secure code review and the reason a small team can turn work around quickly without losing the record of it. See our GitHub for our publicly posted tools.

We use AI where it improves our own output, under our own process, and a person owns everything that reaches a client.

How We Work

Proof over adjectives

If a claim is not checkable, it does not go in a report and it does not go on this site.

Scoped to an outcome

The deliverable and the date are agreed before work starts, rather than billed against a clock.

Written terms

What we access, what we keep, and for how long is agreed before anything changes hands.
