Second Attic is a data company that protects people from misinformation. It builds, acquires and tests software products, and shows the results in public.

What exists today

One product is live: CrewFinder, for sailing crew and skippers. Three more are being built or planned, under working names that may still change: a video fact-checker, a tool that turns a video into a Claude skill, and an open-source map of public sources.

Two research systems sit behind them. Terrarium studies how information spreads through a population. Threshold tests how software gets paid for.

Why in public

The research and the products are the proof. Nothing here is a projection: what is not finished says so.
