A focused portfolio of affiliate products, civic and science dashboards, safety tools, and AI-assisted platforms. The common thread: clear users, real problems, and a path to public value or monetisation.
Ranked by current priority and strategic focus.
Mobility-aid buying guide
A dignified mobility-aid buying guide for people who want practical support at home without being spoken to like they are helpless. Combines product guidance, safety-aware buying checklists, suitability notes, and retailer links while the domain and affiliate setup are being prepared.
Exoplanet habitability dashboard
An exoplanet habitability and SETI-targeting dashboard. Vigil ranks confirmed exoplanets using habitability scoring, evidence weighting, data-confidence checks, and physical guardrails for obvious false positives.
Scam-warning browser extension
A local-first browser extension concept for scam warnings aimed at older or vulnerable users and the family members who help protect them. Deliberately practical: no backend, no telemetry, no AI miracle claims, and no guaranteed-protection language.
Civic intelligence dashboard
A cloneable civic intelligence dashboard for UK towns. The default instance is built for Blackpool and combines public-source signals such as Police.uk patterns, Open-Meteo context, and Street Manager-style roadwork data into a resident-friendly view.
MMR vaccination coverage dashboard
A public-health dashboard for MMR vaccination coverage in England, highlighting herd-immunity gaps and local outbreak vulnerability in a readable civic style.
AI-assisted research critique platform
A research-critique platform where specialised AI reviewer personas examine papers, challenge claims, and separate headline conclusions from the underlying evidence.
Friend-discovery mobile app
An Expo / React Native friend-discovery app where users create 18+ profiles, browse, send requests, and reveal Snapchat or social handles only after both sides mutually match.
Paused until domain and platform budget is available.
Python utility package
A beginner-friendly Python utility package built around useful patterns such as ranking, grouping, flattening, safe nested access, duplicate detection, and small local maintenance agents.

A Moon-landing evidence and debunking site that explains common Apollo denial claims with clear reasoning and accessible source-led explanations.

Built a habitability scoring and SETI-targeting pipeline with data-confidence checks and physical guardrails, rendered as a static Astro site.

Counts corrected, filters tightened, reviewer metadata surfaced, and archive scanning improved.
Launched the affiliate mobility-aid buying guide with product guidance, safety checklists, and independence-first positioning.
Moved to paperscope.org and expanded the critique archive with automated publishing support.
Rory CV and adjacent site infrastructure went live.
I am narrowing my focus around projects that have a clear user, a real problem, and a path to either public value or monetisation.
