Startup / Product Ideas
Note: This is a living note, an auto generated page synthesized by my self updating second brain managed by Claude. While it's input was my actual organic writing, this is an AI summary/extraction/synthesis part of my The Living Notes section.

Startup / Product Ideas
Active (being developed)
- projects/mirat — assistive tech for neurodivergent professionals
- perenniala11y — accessibility consulting (not a startup but entrepreneurial)
Considered, Not Pursued
- Daylight (organizational decision intelligence; "narrative laundering" / political subtext decoder) — explored as an idea, never built into a project. Full product spec: stakeholder mapping, counterfactual test, counter-narrative generation, prediction tracking; primary market is HR/COO at 200–2000 person companies; neurodivergent professionals as key beneficiary. Relationship to SIGNAL: both are prosthetic intelligence making invisible context legible — SIGNAL at the interpersonal level, Daylight at the institutional level.
In Exploration
- auto-ideas/curated-brain-sharing — access-controlled knowledge lenses; share curated slices of your second brain with trusted people (evolved from idea #14)
- Children's Perennial Learning — educational initiative for children under the Perennial brand; name brainstorm (March 2026): Soul Garden, Heart Light, Little Lights, True Roots, Inner Glow; values-based (being over performing); likely fatherhood-motivated.
- Career / project planning tool — structured planning for complex projects or careers
