Founding stage · pilot engagements open

Catch market-system regressionsbefore production.

BQS replays market workloads, verifies identical behavior, and blocks latency regressions in CI. Each run produces a signed evidence bundle engineering, risk, and compliance teams can verify.

Built for engineering teams maintaining market-data handlers and limit-order-book engines — where a code or infrastructure change can alter book state or tail latency without any ordinary CI test catching it.

Public harness includes scaled functions. Enterprise version includes full orchestration, CI contracts, and signed evidence bundles.

Figures on this page are from a controlled single-node ITCH replay workload on isolated Linux cores. Pilots produce environment-specific validation on your hardware.

What BQS proves

Three primitives. One proof surface.

Every claim about a market system — speed, correctness, repeatability — reduces to evidence you can replay, gate, and forward.

Replay

Reconstruct the same workload with deterministic inputs and reproducible state transitions across environments.

Gate

Turn latency budgets and runtime-protection decisions into CI-enforced contracts that block regressions at merge time.

Prove

Package digests, manifests, metrics, and reports into forwardable evidence bundles for engineering, compliance, and investor review.

Product architecture

The proof path, end to end.

Inputs are canonicalised, replayed deterministically, measured against contractual latency gates, sealed into a digest, and packaged as evidence.

Executive proof brief
forwardable
Every stage emits a typed artifact. Every artifact carries a hash. The bundle is the proof.
Use cases

Where institutional teams deploy BQS.

Each surface produces a specific, forwardable proof artifact — not a dashboard, not a deck.

Evidence sample

A bundle is the unit of proof.

One sealed directory carries everything required to reproduce, verify, and forward the result.

Representative controlled benchmark sample. Enterprise pilots produce environment-specific validation.

What it answers
  • Can this run be reproduced bit-for-bit, today and twelve months from now?
  • Did any latency budget regress against the prior golden run?
  • Are protection-path activations covered and accounted for?
  • Can a non-engineer read a one-page summary and act on it?
Performance

Measured. Replayable. Contextualised.

Figures below come from a controlled single-node ITCH replay on isolated Linux cores — internal harness, not a production exchange claim. Pilots produce environment-specific baselines on your hardware.

Enterprise pilot

Enterprise BQL 2.0 Pilot.

A 4–6 week proof engagement that turns your market system into a replayable, gated, and forwardable evidence surface.

Week 1
Workload fit

Scope the target system, inputs, latency surface, and success criteria.

Weeks 2–3
Baseline proof

Stand up deterministic replay, canonical inputs, and the first golden digest.
