Courtroom-in-a-Box is an edge-native, locally sovereign, AI-deliberated monitoring and autonomous alerting platform — built bare metal, built to run without the cloud, and built in tribute to a woman who spent her career making sure evidence was never lost.
Diane spent her career in the U.S. federal court system as a judicial secretary — the person responsible for evidentiary integrity, for making sure that what mattered was recorded, verified, and never lost. She did that work quietly, for decades, so that the record would always be trustworthy when it counted.
She passed away in hospice care without anyone present to detect her distress.
Courtroom-in-a-Box exists because that should never happen to anyone — not to a person in hospice, not to an elder aging in place, not to anyone whose distress deserves a witness and doesn't have one.
The platform is named for what it does: it deliberates. Every sensor reading becomes testimony. Every alert is a verdict, reached by a panel, checked by a permanent skeptic, recorded in a tamper-evident ledger, and only then acted on. It is a courtroom built to watch over the people the world stops watching.
The jury panel is the only swappable component. Everything else — the broker, the orchestrator, the ledger, the observability layer, the dispatch channel — is fixed infrastructure that does not change, no matter what it's watching over.
One fixed courtroom, six different things worth watching over.
The origin domain. Where the platform learned to watch for the distress no one else was in the room for.
In developmentSite monitoring for active excavation — protecting what took millennia to bury and moments to lose.
In developmentOT/SCADA-aware monitoring for the systems that everything else depends on.
In designBuilt for environments with no cloud, no infrastructure, and no room for failure.
In designADS-B and Remote ID sensing for knowing what's overhead, and why.
In designThe same courtroom, watching over soil, pests, and climate instead of a courtroom at all.
New — scopedEvery design decision in Courtroom-in-a-Box traces back to a career spent operating in austere, denied, and classified environments — places where "the cloud" was never an option and sovereignty over your own infrastructure wasn't a preference, it was survival.
Bare metal only. No Docker. No containers. No cloud. No Google. If it can't run disconnected, it doesn't belong in the stack.
