Your work.
Your workspace.
LodeStar
A connected workspace for documents, workpapers, review evidence, deadlines, and the path from books to tax preparation.
HuffmanStacks / Independent software studio
Exceptional software.
Entirely yours.
Practice systems. Creative studios. Private intelligence. A growing world of software, built with care—and designed to put more possibility in your hands.

Three distinct directions
Meet the work.
See the possibility.
An evolving practice workbench, a studio for new experiences, and intelligence that stays close to your work.
All 24 assets ↗
Experience Foundry
Original themes, application blueprints, component previews, and an organized workspace for turning an interface idea into an implementation plan.
Marlow
A local AI companion direction built around continuity, useful context, and tools that can run on equipment you control.
The ecosystem, made useful
Start with the work
you want to improve.
Explore a practical path through the collection. Discover where a tool fits, what it needs, and what could come next.
A useful starting combination
Build a connected practice
Keep source documents, preparation work, and professional review connected around existing records.
A useful starting combination
Shape the next application
Move from visual language and application shape to an inspectable implementation foundation.
A useful starting combination
Keep context and control
Preserve useful knowledge, organize existing tools, and retain a visible account of operational work.
A useful starting combination
Operate with better evidence
Inspect software origins, network activity, operating health, and recovery preparation.
A useful starting combination
Research a new opportunity
Turn findings and scored candidates into a considered implementation opportunity.
Suggested combinations for exploration. Each project retains its own records and availability; a relationship here does not mean a live integration.
More of the stack
The supporting cast.
Substantial in its own right.
The quieter engineering assets matter too: source integrity, command health, document evidence, and better opportunity research.
Observability toolkit
CommandWatch
Command-health analysis, failure classification, execution-lane visibility, and clearly labeled resource estimates in one local dashboard.

A source-direct package toolkit with commit and content pins, explicit script approval, integrity checks, and an auditable installation record.
Explore the asset ↗Opportunity researchNiche Intelligence Engine
A structured catalog of scored business candidates, configurable ranking, scenario analysis, and a workbook-based opportunity pipeline.
Explore the asset ↗Evidence foundationWorkpaper Foundation
A shared contract layer for tax workpapers: structured intake, facts, provenance, append-only ledgers, and integrity checks.
Explore the asset ↗The Sovereign Frontier approach
Ambitious at the surface.
Grounded underneath.
A beautiful interface earns its place when the records, permissions, handoffs, and recovery have been considered with the same care.
How we build ↗01
Ownership is part of the design.
Portable context, clear dependencies, and deliberate choices about where work runs.
02
Connected work starts with clear records.
Useful relationships across tools, with an explicit source of truth.
03
The evidence defines the claim.
A design, a tested component, and a deployed product each mean something different.
From the workbench
Knowledge you can
put to work.
Read a field note, work through a checklist, and take a copy with you.
