📐 Dynamic Leadership Vitality Theory (DLVT) — Formal ODE model proving most leaders converge to a zombie equilibrium: authority intact, strategic bandwidth depleted. Global asymptotic stability proved via Bendixson–Dulac + Poincaré–Bendixson. Available on SSRN. Targeting The Leadership Quarterly, 2026. → Python package

🧠 sapians-cognitive-system — SAPIANS OS: enterprise multi-agent venture builder. Orchestrates highly specialized SAA-7/SPA-6 agents — each owning a cognitive domain (research, editorial, finance, ops) — transforming a single founder into a company of one. Built on LangGraph, Anthropic Claude, and structured tool-use pipelines.
🤖 agentic-researcher — End-to-end AI-assisted scientific research pipeline. 11 SOTA-grounded agents (PaperQA2, WriteHERE, STORM) with structured multi-step reasoning, citation grounding, and automated manuscript generation. SAA-6/SPA-6 architecture with human-in-the-loop review gates.
📖 sapians-gratia-docs — AI-native documentation platform with RAG-powered semantic search and conversational Q&A. Users interact with the full documentation corpus through natural language — no keyword search, no navigation trees. Built on dense vector embeddings and LLM-orchestrated retrieval (LangChain + Anthropic Claude). Designed as a reusable documentation standard across all SAPIANS products.
📗 sapians-book-experience-test — Experimental AI-augmented reading environment for The Courage to Stop. Embeds the full book corpus into a semantic retrieval pipeline, enabling conversational reading, context-aware annotation, and LLM-mediated thematic navigation. Explores how generative AI can transform linear narrative into an adaptive, dialogue-driven reading experience.
