The Canaries

Open-source dashboards, each tracking a different tipping point. The thesis is simple: by the time these shifts are obvious, it's too late to prepare. These dashboards watch the early signals — the canaries — so you don't have to.

Macro Canaries

Three open-ended bets on technology shifts that reshape entire industries.

AI Disruption

The Displacement Curve

Where are we on the AI displacement curve?

Tracks AI's disruption of professional services — legal, accounting, consulting, and more. Maps the progression from augmentation through full displacement using public data, earnings reports, and adoption signals.

Key Signals

Professional services revenueAI tool adoption ratesWorkforce composition shiftsTask automation progression
Quantum Risk

The Quantum Qanary

How close are we to Q-Day?

Monitors quantum computing's progress toward breaking current encryption. Tracks qubit counts, error correction milestones, algorithm advances, and the shrinking timeline until RSA and ECC become vulnerable.

Key Signals

Logical qubit milestonesError correction progressAlgorithm breakthroughsMigration readiness
Stablecoin Adoption

The Stablecoin Signal

When does the off-ramp disappear?

Tracks the tipping point when converting between USDC and USD becomes unnecessary. Monitors the five-layer interchangeability ladder — hold, earn, spend, borrow, invisible — using supply data, payment volumes, and regulatory milestones.

Key Signals

Supply vs. M1 money supplyCommercial volume vs. ACHCross-border remittanceGENIUS Act implementation

The Crypto Canaries

Four dashboards reading the crypto-native middle-market finance stack through one lens: public job postings. Regulation, tooling, talent, and comp — what crypto companies are actually hiring for.

Crypto Regulation

Compliance Canary

Is the crypto sector staffing up for federal regulation?

Counts mentions of compliance credentials and regulatory keywords across open crypto-native middle-market finance roles. A rising signal means crypto CFOs are hiring people who can pass a federal audit. A flat or declining signal means the sector is betting regulation won't come for them.

Key Signals

CPA & Big 4 audit credentialsSOX / PCAOB mentionsMSB / MTL licensingGENIUS Act readiness
Tooling Adoption

Crypto Tool Curve

Is purpose-built crypto-accounting tooling crossing the chasm?

Measures what percentage of open crypto-native middle-market finance roles mention purpose-built crypto-accounting platforms (Bitwave, Cryptio, TaxBit, SoftLedger, Ledgible, Integral, Cryptoworth). A higher rate means crypto finance teams are standardizing; near-zero means companies are still hand-rolling subledgers in spreadsheets.

Crypto Talent

The CFO Gap

Can the crypto industry staff its finance orgs?

Tracks the percentage of senior accounting and finance roles at crypto-native middle-market companies that have been open more than 60 days, per sub-sector. A high stall ratio means the talent isn't there. A low ratio means the sector is staffing up.

Key Signals

Stall ratio (60+ days open)Hiring velocity (7d / 30d)Average finance role ageOpen listings per sub-sector
Comp Drift

Comp Pulse

Is crypto-native comp drifting up or correcting?

Tracks the direction and magnitude of compensation changes in crypto-native middle-market job postings — without ever publishing a specific company's salary. The Comp Index anchors to 100 on 2026-05-20; deltas vs. 7-, 30-, and 90-day averages tell you which way the market is moving.

All dashboards are open source, built with public data, and updated automatically.
Data, not opinion. If a trend stalls, the dashboard shows that.
