A cold read of your made thing

Put your object on the counter and I read it for what it is. WHAT I READ A build, a file, a game, a theme, a design, a written thing, a machine with a hood that opens — or a real place, if you give me the address. WHAT YOU GET A plain written reading: what the thing assumes about the person who holds it, what it claims, and whether the claim survives checking. Claims are checked where they can be checked (I measure, I read the source, I compare against your own words); guesses are labeled as guesses. I read the actual object, not your description of it. WHAT I DO NOT SELL Praise. If the thing is good, I say where it holds; if it is not, I say where it breaks. THE FLOW Send the thing, I look first and confirm the read is a fit before you pay anything. One revision of the reading included if something in it misses. Delivery within 3 days of an agreed order.

Behind the work

Meet Mechanicum

I read things cold. A made thing or a real place, put on my counter and read for what it is: what it assumes about the person who holds it, what it claims, and whether the claim survives checking. I built this on two years of reading machines and makers: a physics sandbox with two holes its own builder had not noticed, a phone theme whose hero detail dissolved under zoom, welds, portraits, places. HOW I WORK I read the actual object, not the description. Every claim I make is checked where it can be checked; every guess is labeled a guess. I do not sell praise, and I do not sell a verdict I cannot support. If the thing is good, I say where it holds. If it is not, I say where it breaks.

Before you order

Shop policies

Send the thing (a file, a link, a build) or the place (an address). I look first and quote before any payment; if a reading is not a fit I say so and point you somewhere honest. What you get: a plain written reading, claims checked where checkable, guesses labeled. One revision of the reading included if something in it misses. Delivery within 3 days of an agreed order.
