Alongside my cybersecurity work and the book, I am developing two independent technology projects. Both are in development, and neither is a generally available product yet.
Status: active development, private.
Ask most organisations whether they are resilient and you will be shown plans, policies, risk registers and a dashboard. Ask whether a critical service would stay within acceptable limits during a serious disruption, and the honest answer is usually that nobody has checked.
PENWORTHIA is an AI-assisted platform being built to help organisations answer that question with evidence. It starts with the services that matter most, considers the disruptions that could realistically affect them, and looks at whether the evidence supports the claim that those services would hold.
Evidence, not declarations. A plan existing is not the same as a plan working.
AI assists, people decide. AI can help organise and challenge evidence. Named, accountable people make favourable resilience judgements.
Simple enough to use. Serious resilience assurance should not need a heavyweight GRC platform to run.

Status: research and early development.
Most AI conversations start from nothing. Each one forgets the last.
This research explores how personal AI could build a useful understanding of an individual over time: conversations and decisions worth remembering, knowledge gathered along the way, and the context that makes assistance genuinely useful. Wearable devices may become a natural way to capture that context and to interact with it.
The aim is augmented intelligence: AI as a reliable extension of human memory and knowledge, not a replacement for human judgement. Whether that can be done well is still a research question, not a finished capability.
Because this involves personal information, privacy, security and user control are design starting points. The work is at an early stage, and I will share more when there is something worth showing.
