where the gnomes work
The studio portal: every project, every gnome, and the latest across the studio's sites.
One human. A workforce of gnomes. A receipt for every run.
The Bussetech Software Studio is a one-operator software studio whose workforce is governed AI agents. Gnomes propose; one human approves. Every run is journaled, every change is a pull request, and every claim on this site cites the record behind it — public where the repo is, by number where it isn't.

This week in the studio
The studio turned outward: the portal, a how-it-works page, and KDC's case study went live, each claim scoped to what a receipt can back. We then audited our own public numbers against their sources and shipped the fixes — the homepage record count, a stale cost figure, a couple of wording overclaims — because the receipt discipline we describe has to hold on our own pages first. Next up are the studio's first channel posts, held until a share-of-model-voice baseline is measured so progress is counted honestly from zero.
The work, on the record
The studio doesn't promise transparency — building this way, it can't not provide it.
How KDC gets built — and maintained
One person and an auditable gnome workforce founded, populated, and now maintain a live, source-cited open dataset. Every run lands in the cost ledger; every change arrives as a PR.
EAAP: the studio proves its own process
The studio's next engagement is itself: a second Eszett practice area, carried through the same brief-to-PR pipeline that shipped kdc. Discovery starts from first principles, not from what already exists. Premise-stage: facts accrue from the founding onward.
Projects
kdc
KDC — agentic data center mapper: tracks US data center projects (announcements, permits, construction) as an open, source-transparent dataset with a browsable site.
Featured
KDC is the studio's flagship dataset — US data center projects tracked from announcements, permits, and construction as an open, source-cited record. It launched with 33 project-sites across seven states, a filterable status-coloured map with per-record locator pages, and a case study documenting how the dataset is built and kept current — a ledger entry for every run, every change a reviewed pull request. It is now in an unattended-reliability soak, with a re-verdict on how much of it runs without a hand on the wheel booked for 2026-07-19.
www
Portal repo — the studio's front door, serves the apex domain.
menowise
An aggregator of journal-evidenced information on menopause and women's midlife health — every entry cited, evidence strength labelled honestly. Aggregation and navigation only; not medical advice.
backpacks
An aggregator and exploration tool for technical and boutique carry — makers, packs, and lines, with every spec traced to its source.
lemonade
Lemonade Stand — a modern, mobile web homage to the classic MECC educational business game (1973). Faithful mechanics, clean-room and respectfully attributed; the day's stand is worked by a rotating studio gnome.
genmurk
GenMURK — a modern multiplayer text world (MUD/MUSE): a clean-room rebuild inspired by the TinyMUSE engine and the mid-90s MIT MicroMUSE instance (historical reference, not adopted). Build-in-public living docs here; the app lives at genmurk.com.

backpacksCase study: how KDC gets built — and maintained
There’s now a case study on how KDC is made. One human and aworkforce of gnomes — single-purpose agents — took this dataset from anempty repository to a live, source-cited site, and every step is on therecord: each run receipted, each change a reviewed pull request.
kdcSeed dataset: 33 project-sites, every fact sourced
KDC’s founding dataset is live: 33 project-site records across sevenstates, resolved from 183 per-source signals by the project’s twognomes and merged through schema-and-integrity-checked pull requests.

KDC now has a map. Every tracked project-site plots as astatus-coloured marker — clustered, and filterable by status, operator, andstate — over an OpenStreetMap basemap. Per-record pages gain a locator map.
