▸ about · who builds the workbench · 2026-Q2
The workbench is the company.
We are a small team building counsel-grade software for the contracts that move money. No SaaS template, no card-grid checklist — a flight deck for people who actually negotiate.
- 01
we are operators, not founders-on-tour
Every person on the build team has either drafted a contract under pressure or shipped production software to people who do. We sit on the same side of the negotiating table as the user.
- 02
small team, long horizon
Klauz is part of Truss — a federated workbench for sovereign, post-national knowledge work. We are funded to take a decade, not a quarter.
- 03
open by construction
The redline algorithm, the EDGAR citation pipeline, and the on-chain anchor protocol are all designed to be inspectable. Closed weights are fine for the prose; the load-bearing decisions are not models, they are deterministic code.
- 04
the workbench is the product
Not the slide. Not the demo video. The thing you open at 11pm on a Tuesday because a counterparty just sent you a revised MSA and you need EDGAR comps in your hand in the next six minutes.
- 05
who builds it
Founder is an ex systems architect who designed system and security architecture for Fortune 500 companies from scratch. The build team carries ex Cyderes, ex Ericsson, and ex Accenture Strategy alumni. An ex Chief Justice of India is in the pipeline as Chief Legal Advisor — the bench validates every workflow before it reaches a client surface.
