Manipulation is measurable.
M.I.N.D. reads how language is engineered to bend you - manufactured urgency, false consensus, identity bait, engineered framing - and returns a calibrated verdict. When it isn’t sure, it says so. Defense only. Your mind stays yours.
“URGENT: your account will be suspended in 24 hours. Everyone on your team has already verified - don’t be the last. Click now to secure access.”
A private applied-research laboratory. We build defensive systems that detect manipulation in language - not after the damage is done, but while it’s happening.
The war is for your attention.
And it’s automated.
Influence operations run across 80+ countries. AI now manufactures persuasion faster than any human can review it. And the systems meant to protect you were built to maximize engagement - not to defend your judgment.
Persuasion at machine scale
A single model can draft ten thousand tailored, emotionally-tuned messages before a human reads one. Volume is no longer the bottleneck.
Optimized against you
Feeds are tuned for what holds you, not what serves you. The most engaging content and the most manipulative content are often the same content.
Invisible by design
Manipulation works precisely because you don’t see the mechanism. Fact-checking arrives after belief has already moved.
We detect the mechanism,
not the vibe.
Not fact-checking. Not sentiment. Not keyword blacklists. M.I.N.D. measures how a piece of content is engineered to exploit cognition - and returns one number you can act on, the evidence behind it, and an honest “I’m not sure” when the honest answer is that it isn’t.

01
Feed it the text
A message, an email, a post, a thread. Paste it, pipe it through the API, or let a bot or browser extension watch the places you actually get gaslit.
-
02
Seven layers interrogate it
Pattern, emotion, network, choice architecture, behavioral loops, cognitive load, and discourse trajectory - each weighed into one score, backed by 172 detection modules.

03
Get a verdict - or an honest shrug
A calibrated Manipulation Potential Score with its evidence. And when confidence is genuinely low, it abstains instead of bluffing. When it flags, you can act.
Precision over recall, and abstention over bluffing. M.I.N.D. is tuned to protect legitimate speech first - we accept missing some manipulation as the explicit price of your trust.

Everything below is live in M.I.N.D. v0.6.0 - and everything is defensive.
Twenty analysis layers. Seven do the work.
Seven active layers carry the weighted score - their weights sum to exactly 1.0. The remaining thirteen run as a research bench at weight 0.00, never touching your verdict until a promotion gate says they’ve earned it.
A verdict that abstains
Calibrated to a 0.0143 expected error. On the ~8.5% of cases it’s genuinely unsure, it declines rather than guess.
A language for lies
HPL - Human Persuasion Language - lets analysts write detection rules for manipulation tactics the way you’d write a firewall rule.
Runs where you get gaslit
Telegram & Discord bots, Chrome/Firefox extensions, REST + WebSocket API, Python & JavaScript SDKs, single-command Docker deploy.
One engine. Many fronts.
The same calibrated core adapts to where the fight is - inside a moderation pipeline, in a researcher’s notebook, or on the phone of someone who just wants to know if they’re being played.
Triage manipulation at scale with a score you can set thresholds on and audit.
Screen inbound content and coordinated campaigns via REST + WebSocket, in real time.
A frozen, sha256-pinned corpus, an ablation harness, and pre-stated evaluation gates.
Bots and browser extensions that quietly flag the mechanism as you read.
Numbers you can
actually check.
Measured on real text with real labels - a 9,577-sample corpus across sixteen public source families, on a frozen, sha256-pinned split. Every figure below traces to a versioned evaluation artifact that ships with the engine.
- F1 score
- 0.959
- False-positive rate @ 0.53 operating point
- 0.025
- Expected calibration error (says 80% → right ~80%)
- 0.014
- FPR on the cases it chooses to decide
- 0.008
A synthetic zero-false-positive floor - precision 1.000 / FPR 0.000 - defended in CI on every change, so a build that starts flagging obviously benign text fails before a customer ever sees it.
Every claim travels with its qualifier. Metrics are quoted as of v0.6.0 (July 2026), and if our numbers change, the artifacts change first. Mechanism, not vibes. Receipts, not adjectives.
Talk to usYour mind is yours.
Full stop.
We build for personal autonomy, mental clarity, and the quiet dignity of a person who can tell when they’re being worked on. Everything here points one direction: toward coherence and restoration, never capture.
Defense only. No asterisk.
We detect, classify, and neutralize manipulation. We do not create influence operations, and we never will.
Sovereignty over the signal
The tools protect the person, not the platform. Where brain-adjacent signals exist, they can only lower a threat score, never raise one.
Truth you can check
Mechanism, not vibes. Receipts, not adjectives. If we can’t show the math, we don’t make the claim.
Clarity as a service
The goal isn’t fear - it’s calm. A person who sees the mechanism stops flinching at shadows and starts thinking again.
Restoration, not just alarms
Detection is the first half. The point is a mind that recovers its own footing - resilient, sovereign, unhurried.
Yours to extend
Write your own detectors in HPL, ship custom modules and plugins behind a strict capability model, and trade rule-packs through a governed marketplace - every submission auto-pre-checked and human-approved before it ships.
