What I Build
The useful AI story is not a credential list. It is proof: live products, active advisory work, operator media, free education and the lessons from archived experiments.
Chart Reporter
FX Analytics SaaS - Sole Venture. Live - Open Beta.
Chart Reporter automates the manual collection and reporting of trading performance data into actionable insights for the individual Forex trader. Built end-to-end as a solo operator.
Traders using MetaTrader 4 and MT5 Expert Advisors generate enormous amounts of performance data - but extracting, visualising, and acting on that data has always been manual, tedious, and error-prone. Chart Reporter solves this with a live analytics platform that connects directly to trading accounts.

Sites by Agents
Free Website-Building Education. Active - free resource.
Sites by Agents is a free educational resource for people who want to build and launch their own website with an AI agent. Relaunched with a recorded masterclass, it makes the process available to follow at your own pace.
The guide takes you from an idea through building and previewing with Codex, keeping your code in GitHub, publishing with Vercel and connecting your domain. You choose the design and review the result; the agent is your development partner.
This is practical education, not a done-for-you website service. The learning resource is free; any tools, hosting or domain costs depend on what you choose to use.
| Format | Recorded masterclass and step-by-step website launch guide |
| Workflow | Idea, Codex, GitHub, Vercel and your domain |
| Status | Active - free educational resource |
Sairgent
Archived Agentic OS Experiment. Archived.
Sairgent was an early attempt at a business-in-a-box agentic operating system. It was wound down after Hermes converged on much of the same architecture faster than expected.
The product is archived, but the operating philosophy remains: hierarchy, accountability, persistent context, small reliable systems and value math before tool choice.
Those lessons now show up in Valid Agenda's consulting, Syllogism workshops and the way I build internal operating systems for real work.
| Governance | Value Math requirement on all proposals. 48-hour ship rule. Persistent memory and audit trail. |
| Status | Archived - lessons retained in Valid Agenda operating practice |
Syllogism
AI Advisory Partnership - Joint Venture with Richard Webbe. Active.
Syllogism is a joint venture between Valid Agenda (Dave) and Esource (Richard Webbe). We accelerate AI adoption for mid-market businesses by moving from 'Novelty' to 'Payback.'
Richard brings high-stakes sales pedigree (ex-Cisco, ex-Telstra). Dave brings the technical architecture and agentic systems. Together, we deliver AI strategy workshops, governance frameworks, and implementation roadmaps grounded in operational reality.
Our methodology - the AI Blueprint - starts with the Cost of Inaction, not the technology. We help leaders see where AI will actually pay back before they buy a single tool.
We also produce the AI Operators Podcast - a weekly show exploring the tactical edge of AI agents, governance, and the transition from manual work to orchestration.
