How.

Three working principles, five questions answered. Everything else lives on the call.

Working principles

  • 01

    Artefact over advice

    You receive something built. A system, an instrument, a signed artefact. Not a deck.

  • 02

    Scope before start

    Every engagement opens with a written brief. If we cannot define what done looks like, we do not start.

  • 03

    Signed provenance

    Every commission carries a documented consent and provenance record. The estate, the lineage, the source community are named on the record.

Five questions

  • 01

    What does done look like?

    A specific artefact. A working instrument, a deployed contract, a founding Stela. Defined in writing before work begins.

  • 02

    Who owns the work and the rights?

    You do. The estate or institution holds the artefact and the underlying rights. The studio retains methodology, never the recording, the corpus, or the seal.

  • 03

    What about consent and provenance?

    Each engagement begins with a signed consent record naming principals, executors, and source community where applicable. The provenance chain is part of the deliverable.

  • 04

    Have you done this before?

    PERI is the published flagship. Stela 001 ships autumn 2026. Settlement contracts are live on Base mainnet today.

  • 05

    How quickly can we start?

    First conversation within a week of enquiry. Written proposal within ten working days. Commissions typically begin one to two months after signed brief.

Scope on enquiry

The first conversation is the brief.
