Proof of Work

Systems built to be tested hard
before they're trusted.

सत्यमेव जयते

Falsifiability-first research and products — where Sanskrit computation meets applied AI. A working catalogue of what I ship, and what I can prove.

The Works

What I've built. Each one signed.

A standing record of what I ship and research. Some run today; some are still under the bench. Nothing here was not built by me — and nothing leaves without surviving falsification.

SiteIQ Shipping

Run a commercial cleaning business from one screen — sites, contractors, clean records and risk alerts, all in sync. No more spreadsheets and lost message threads.

falsify-eval Open source

A calibrated falsification harness for retrieval & ranking — a four-null gate plus an integrity lock, built to catch predictors that look right but aren't. Apache 2.0, 91 tests green.

Vāk-Kaṇaja Research

A sovereign Sanskrit retrieval engine — Pāṇinian grammar, three-channel φ-RRF fusion and MFDFA signal analysis. Scores nDCG@5 0.76, roughly twice the sentence-transformer baseline. Built falsifiability-first.

Ākāśa Pantheon Research

A structured-output prompting framework for LLMs, with an empirical study of non-monotonic format adherence across model scales — 4B, 8B and 70B.

Kaṇaja FSH Under the bench

Full-spectrum Sanskrit analysis — chandas (metre) detection, multilingual transliteration and semantic search. Held private until it meets the standard.

Swaraj Engine In development

The unified fractal retrieval core beneath the Kaṇaja line — the heavy research engine, maturing toward release.

Latest — what I'm proving now

The judge that audits itself.

I extended the falsification gate from search to LLM free-text: a grounding filter that keeps only source-backed answers — and a gate that tests the AI judge itself, refusing any grader that can't tell a real answer from a fluent fake.

"When my own scorer started cheating, the gate caught it — and prompt-conditioning took it from 0 to PASS. The retraction is what earned the validated numbers their weight." — Case study CS03, reproducible

The discipline

Old principles, exactly applied.

"Truth alone triumphs — not falsehood."

I commit to never publishing a claim I don't believe will survive falsification. When my own results fail, I publish that too. The first work I shipped publicly retracted its own pre-fix numbers — and that retraction is what made the validated numbers trustworthy.

"You have the right to action only — never to its fruits."

I ship the work and let time decide its outcome. Whether it survives verification is the measure — not the forecast. Every artifact I publish has a thirty-second demonstration anyone can run.

Background

Independent researcher, building in the open.

Undergraduate at RMIT University, Melbourne. I work on the small piece of statistical machinery that makes retrieval evaluation honest, and on cross-cultural Sanskrit–Dravidian retrieval — an under-served corner of computational philology whose hard parts push methodology in useful directions.

Open to collaboration on falsification methodology, low-resource philological corpora, or both. The brand behind the work is Bhardwaj & Sons — a house of standards.
