Convert any pile of documents (PDF, Word, HTML pages, wiki exports, PowerPoint slides) into clean, LLM-ready markdown context: inventories the sources, picks the right extractor per file type (pdftotext or PyMuPDF for PDF, pandoc or mammoth for docx, readability extraction for HTML.
Set up application observability with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or CloudWatch — instrument metrics endpoints, configure Golden Signal dashboards, define alert rules with burn-rate SLOs, and add structured logging
Full quality pass -- chains parallel UX + scalability audit, then QA verification, then consistency gate. Fixes everything it finds. Works with any stack.
Audit a government or public services system for compliance, fraud risk, and security — chains benefits processing review, fraud detection analysis, regulatory compliance check (ADA, Section 508, FISMA, Privacy Act), and PII-focused security audit.

Analyze franchise and multi-location unit economics including per-location P&L construction, four-wall EBITDA margins, prime cost optimization, contribution margin analysis, break-even modeling, and store-level ROI calculations.
Pre-launch quality gate for games: audit rendering and memory performance against platform budgets, run QA for crash-causing defects and platform certification blockers, review accessibility for CVAA and platform compliance, test security against cheating and save tampering.
Evaluate survey data pipelines and research methodology. Analyzes response bias detection (speeders, straight-liners, bots), statistical significance testing (t-test, chi-square, ANOVA with Bonferroni correction), sentiment and theme extraction from open-ended responses.
Build a production-ready data API from scratch: scaffold REST endpoints with models and validation, generate integration tests that verify every route, then load test for scalability. Use when you need an API backend, data service, CRUD layer, or microservice with verified correctness and performance.
Analyze vendor and contractor coordination systems for performance scoring, competitive bid evaluation, SLA compliance tracking, and vendor risk assessment.
Audit legal information systems that explain rights to the public, evaluating plain-language accuracy, jurisdiction-specific content correctness, reading level appropriateness targeting 5th-8th grade, multilingual support, WCAG accessibility compliance.
