IAN FRELINGER STUDIO

I build systems you can audit.

 
A model proposes a change; the admission gate tests it before admitting it; it is admitted, held for a human, or rejected with an explanation, and certification records are signed.
 

Ashlar is a local-first .NET runtime for AI workflows you embed. Models propose; Ashlar keeps a receipt for what ran and an admission gate for what gets trusted. It governs behavior, not intelligence.

Before that, I designed games and interaction work where the point was how the system feels in someone’s hands — including sim and modeling. That habit never left: if a supervisor can’t tell what the machine did, it isn’t finished.

Proof: open source and local-first.
