01 Algebra
AI-native platforms for persistent operational problems that everyone else walked past.
See what we're building ↓02 The Algebra Problem
An Algebra Problem is a persistent operational challenge that an underserved industry has accepted as the cost of doing business. Not because the problem is unsolvable. Because nobody thought it was worth solving properly.
We disagree.
03 What We Build
Every product we build starts the same way — an operator living inside a broken system, paying too much for software that was never built for them, doing too much manually because nothing better existed. We find those problems. We build the solution from the inside out, with deep domain knowledge and AI-native architecture.
Decorated apparel shops — screen printers, embroiderers, custom decorators — have been running their businesses on three to five disconnected tools for twenty years. Paying $400–600 a month for software that doesn't share data.
ThreadLead replaces all of it. One AI-native platform — CRM, quoting, production scheduling, art management, and AI mockup generation — for $199 a month.
That's an Algebra Problem. Solved.

OmniPane is an AI compliance surveillance layer that monitors lab operations in real time, flags ISO 17025 gaps the moment they occur, and generates audit-ready reports on demand.
That's an Algebra Problem. Solving.
202704 Who We Are
John brings the operator's perspective. He has run decorated apparel operations, managed ISO 17025 accredited laboratory compliance, and built businesses across multiple industries. Every product Algebra builds starts from a place of lived operational pain — not market research.
Daniel builds the architecture. He designs AI-native platforms from first principles — not horizontal tools with vertical features bolted on. Every system he builds is purpose-built for the industry it serves, structured around the way operators actually work.
Two founders. Deep domain expertise plus technical depth.
