I build systems that help businesses carry their responsibilities.

Dominus Foundry builds and operates Managed AI for businesses. Sabina is your company's own AI, with Forge included and work agreed around your information and authority. DominusOS supplies the authority architecture; Forge supplies a structured operating workspace. Specialist tools are confirmed in the written scope.

The spine

Your company’s own AI, the authority she works under, and the record the work lands in.

Dominus Foundry builds and operates Sabina. DominusOS supplies the authority architecture. Forge comes with every Sabina engagement as the structured workspace. Specialist tools are scoped separately; Forge is also available on its own.

Start with a question worth answering or a responsibility worth carrying: company understanding, preparation, communication or permitted follow-through. Foundry sets up and operates Sabina with Forge included. Your team selects the information and authority; reviewed context can carry forward into the next question, draft and responsibility.

  • Runs on a core model trained and operated by Foundry.
  • Shaped around your company by our own memory and teaching systems.
  • Her understanding can grow; her authority comes only from the permissions you grant.
Where the proof stands, and your company’s data

She answers Dominus Foundry's own lines today — the proof is on our account, not yet on a customer's, and a founding seat is how that changes. See current founding availability. Pricing comes in a written proposal. What she learns working for a company belongs to that company’s account, and what it takes with it if it leaves is set in its agreement.

Your company’s knowledge, memory, operating instructions, and permissions remain specific to your company, and access follows the sources and authority you approve. See the trust and company-data page.

Start with the work and company information you want to evaluate. (opens in a new tab)

DominusOS

The authority architecture behind her work.
dominusos.ai Open DominusOS (opens in a new tab)

Authority has to be written down before it means anything. DominusOS is where it gets written, granted and checked. Where a permit is required, the action is recorded before it is carried out and carries a signed, single-use permit bound to that company, that capability and those exact details.

Bounded authority

On supported governed paths, model observations do not grant authority. Accepted owner restrictions constrain execution; widening requires deliberate confirmation.

Attributable action

On supported governed paths, attempts and outcomes have a record, including refusals and approval waits, with the authorizing grant or approval.

Receipt before speech

On supported completion-check paths, a booking, send or change needs a committed record before it is described as complete. Coverage depends on the channel.

Example
Not a real permit, and not the format one travels in — what a single permit binds, in plain language.
Authorised by
the authority that allowed it — a person’s approval, or a standing restriction that did not apply
For
this one company, and no other
To do
one named thing — here, book one appointment
With
these exact details, not the action in general
Good for
a short window, and then no longer
Uses
one — minted once, consumed once
Signed
anyone holding it can check the signature; only the authority service can issue one

Change the rules and the permits already issued stop being good.

What the permit does not cover yet

Precisely, because the difference matters: the permit does not cover everything she does yet. Some call actions run under documented exemptions, and some requests to the phone carrier are limited to approved destinations instead. Those are weaker checks than a permit.

And its scope today is exactly one: it is the governance layer Dominus Foundry built for Sabina, and it governs one managed private AI, for real work — hers.

Forge

Operating records and specialist tools.
buildwithforge.app Open Forge (opens in a new tab)

Forge comes with Sabina as the structured operating workspace and is available independently. Move agreed work into Forge where practical; retained systems need assessed API reads and writes. Core, Hyperion, Sigil and Torch have defined scopes; Ariadne and Treasury are in development. Specialist tools are confirmed in writing, not assumed included.

  • Forge is in paid use at All Weather Roofing, Albuquerque; Sabina is not onboarded there.
  • AV and security runs at CalLord — a separate, founder-affiliated integrator.
  • Fire and life safety, solar and property management are in development.

Forge’s paid roofing use is the current trade foothold. CalLord is founder-affiliated, and Foundry’s Sabina use is internal; neither is an independent Sabina customer case study.

Why there are three, and how they fit together.

SabinaDominusOSdepends on

She cannot act on her own say-so. The actions she is governed for — a booking among them — need authority that was granted first, and a refusal is written down as carefully as a success.

DominusOSForgedepends on

Forge holds the agreed business records — such as a client, scope or schedule. On supported governed paths, a permit binds the action to those details and the resulting record can be checked afterwards.

ForgeSabinadepends on

Forge supplies structured business context for useful questions, drafts and follow-through. On supported completion-check paths, a claimed booking or update needs a saved result; not every channel is covered.

Forge can be used on its own and comes with every Sabina engagement. We prefer to move agreed work into Forge; keeping another system requires a supported API connection. Specialist tools are confirmed in scope.

The company

Dominus Foundry builds all three.

Fide et Familia — held by the Lord family, from Albuquerque.

Dominus Foundry is held by Bri and me — a family business in Albuquerque, and everything above comes out of it.

Sabina runs on a core model trained and operated by Foundry. Our proprietary memory and teaching systems shape that foundation around each company, while that company’s permissions define what she may do. One reusable core and one set of systems, with each company’s knowledge kept its own — that is how a two-person shop builds and operates it.

We have bootstrapped it to here. What is already in production, what we are raising for, and what it is meant to become are written out in full on the investor pitch — it lives at the Foundry, not here.

The maker

An operator long before I was a founder.

Storefronts

I started in storefronts, not server rooms — two Cold Stone Creamery shops in Albuquerque before I was old enough to know better.

The labs

Then eighteen months in the labs, on the team that helped bring LED lighting into the world we now take for granted.

A few hundred rooms

Most of the years since I spent in sales and business development — learning, in a few hundred rooms, exactly what the work needs and what the tools keep getting wrong.

MMXXV · Two companies

In 2025 I built two companies to answer it: CalLord, a commercial security & AV integration firm I own half of, and Dominus Foundry, which Bri and I own outright. They are two companies, not one with two names: CalLord does the security and AV work and uses Forge in it; the Foundry builds and operates Managed AI for businesses — Sabina, your company's own AI, and the systems beneath her.

Fide et Familia

Built alongside my wife Bri Lord, Dominus Foundry’s CEO and my co-founder on Sabina and Forge — Fide et Familia. By faith and family.

Hyperion · on Forge

Scan the roof. Price it before the truck leaves.

iPad LiDAR captures the geometry in about sixty seconds. Hyperion prices from the scan and puts the proposal in front of the customer in one visit. It is the instrument I wanted in the field and could not buy, so we built it.
