About · 01
A small studio
A small studio
with a long memory.
Tiny Prism LLC is a one-person studio registered in Sheridan, Wyoming. Two decades building for the web, the recent years spent turning sprawling data into AI-scored, plain-English alerts. We build our own monitoring products — and the same systems for one or two teams at a time.
The principal
Founder · Data + AI engineer
Building for the web since 2005, fully remote with US and EU teams since 2011 — now focused on data monitoring, AI analysis, and alerting.
The work follows one pattern, the one our own products run on: watch a data source — a public register, an API, your own database — detect what changed, score what matters with an LLM, and deliver it as an alert someone will actually read. Less dashboard, more decision.
What you actually get: a working slice within a week — a first scored record or a sample alert — then steady, demoed progress instead of status decks. A runbook and an architecture note when we're done, so the next person to touch it can.
If something is outside our focus, we'll tell you within a day and point you toward someone better suited. We'd rather pass than half-ship.

What we do · 02
From raw data
From raw data
to the right alert.
Every engagement runs on the same loop — monitor, analyze, alert. Anything outside it, we'll tell you upfront and point you to someone better suited.
02
Data monitoring & alerting
Watch any source — public registers, APIs, your own database — detect what changed, and deliver scored alerts, by digest or in realtime. The engine behind our own products.
03
AI analysis & summarization
LLMs pointed at your data: plain-English summaries, relevance scoring, structured extraction, and evals — grounded in the source and always linked back to it.
04
Data pipelines & integration
Ingest, dedupe, entity-match, and normalize from feeds, APIs, and databases — the unglamorous plumbing that makes the data, and the alerts on top of it, trustworthy.
05
Custom data products
An end-to-end monitoring product like the ones we run in-house — watchlists, scoring, intelligence pages, alerts, and billing — built, shipped, and yours.

Capabilities · 03
Two forces:
Two forces:
data and AI.
Everything we build sits on two capabilities — moving and shaping data, and pointing AI at it. The rest is in service of those two.
Monitoring & alerting
Continuous watch over public records and private feeds — ingested, deduped, entity-matched, and scored — then delivered as a digest or a realtime alert the moment something changes.
ingestion · entity-matching · digests · realtime alertsAnalysis & summarization
LLMs that read a filing, a notice, or a record and return a plain-English summary, a relevance score, and the reason it matters — grounded in the source, with the latest OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini models.
summaries · scoring · extraction · evalsAlso in the kit — public-record ingestion · fuzzy & phonetic matching · relevance scoring · source-linking · CSV / API export · daily & realtime delivery

Case study — lessons marketplace · name withheld
Two-plus years owning the data behind a live marketplace, end to end.
A consumer marketplace for scheduled, payable lessons — where every booking, payout, and refund had to reconcile. One engineer owned the data and reporting across releases and integrations: keeping numbers trustworthy, surfacing what changed, and making sure the money and the records always agreed.
