Founder & CEO of CortexChain Inc, architect of Neural Capital OS and the ARCHON Ψ measurement engine — the first infrastructure for verifying human cognitive output across an 8-level Interface Taxonomy and seven-dimensional QTAC₇ rubric. Patent ARAPA-BHINES-001P (Filed · In Prosecution). NVIDIA Inception member. NSF SBIR Phase I invited applicant. Raising $75K pre-seed SAFE ($3M cap).

The world has no standard for measuring human cognition. Brandon Hines is building one. As Founder & CEO of CortexChain Inc (operating entity Waveform Tech LLC), Brandon is the architect of Neural Capital OS and the ARCHON Ψ measurement engine — infrastructure designed to score human cognitive output the way FICO scores creditworthiness and GAAP audits financial performance. At the heart of the work sits the Interface Taxonomy, an 8-level framework classifying cognitive work from basic recall to cross-domain synthesis, and QTAC₇, a seven-dimensional scoring rubric that produces a sealed, provenance-logged cognitive score for every measurement event. For enterprises, ARCHON Ψ delivers verified cognitive assessments — auditable and defensible — for clinicians, educators, and HR leaders evaluating performance in AI-augmented workflows. For individual operators, the same engine maps cognitive evolution against a universal standard. The system's pilot study (IRB #2024-078, n=24) demonstrated a 23% improvement on the TOVA continuous attention battery (p<0.05) under closed-loop BrainBit EEG integration, with operating latency targeting sub-30 ms (Wilson 2010 BCI standard). The foundational patent ARAPA-BHINES-001P (Filed · In Prosecution at The Rapacke Law Group, April 2026) covers real-time cognitive state classification and verified attestation. CortexChain Inc holds NVIDIA Inception membership (Healthcare & Life Sciences track, Q4 2025), is an NSF SBIR Phase I invited applicant (not yet funded), and maintains active development relationships with Naked Development (contract signed) and NeoSOFT (partnership agreement in final execution). Live products include Factorizer (product intelligence engine, $29-$99/mo), Reality Lens (epistemic scoring filter), and Quill & Crown · Manuscript Master (research credential instrument). The company is raising $75,000 on a SAFE ($3M cap, 20% discount) to complete BrainBit hardware integration, submit the NSF Phase I proposal, and execute the first enterprise partnership letter of intent — the three milestones that unlock a full Seed round. This is the infrastructure layer for the AI-augmented work era.

CortexChain Inc builds verified measurement infrastructure for human cognitive output. The flagship product, ARCHON Ψ, scores cognitive performance across seven dimensions (QTAC₇) and produces sealed, provenance-logged cognitive events — making human cognitive capital legible to enterprises, clinicians, and individual operators. Live products include Factorizer (product intelligence engine, $29-$99/mo), Reality Lens (epistemic scoring filter), and Quill & Crown · Manuscript Master (research credential instrument). The platform integrates with BrainBit EEG hardware. Pilot study IRB #2024-078 demonstrated 23% TOVA improvement (n=24, p<0.05). NVIDIA Inception member (Healthcare & Life Sciences, Q4 2025), NSF SBIR Phase I invited applicant. Foundational patent ARAPA-BHINES-001P filed April 2026, in prosecution at The Rapacke Law Group.

Pre-Seed investors aligned with frontier AI, neurotechnology, and human capital infrastructure. Strategic advisors with HR-tech or clinical-tech operating experience. Pilot partners in cognitive performance management for enterprise (HR, education, clinical, defense).

Pre-Seed → Seed. $75K SAFE immediate ($3M cap, 20% discount). Full Seed round contingent on three milestones: BrainBit hardware integration complete, first enterprise letter of intent executed, NSF SBIR Phase I proposal submitted.
