Interfaces are where
systems fail.
OpenIE is an idea company. We study interface failures and help companies solve them.
Eco-engineering for the age of AI.
OpenIE is a Delaware B-Corp building the infrastructure to reduce global compute energy cost by 90% or more. We measure everything in joules — not tokens, not seats, not abstract pricing units. Physics.
Every complex system is composed of parts that talk to each other. The boundaries between those parts are interfaces. Data flows across them. Energy moves through them. Materials mate at them.
When interfaces are implicit or unvalidated, failures propagate silently. A voltage mismatch fries a board. An API change breaks a pipeline. A material incompatibility causes a recall.
These are interface failures — predictable, detectable, preventable.
Operating companies of OpenIE.

Transaction Science
Every transaction is a claim about reality.
Five domains. One framework.
Every system interface falls into one of five tracts.
Data
Protocols, formats, encoding, timing, and API contracts. Every data boundary typed and validated before it crosses.
Energy
Power delivery, voltage domains, thermal management, and EMC. Every watt accounted for from source to sink.
Material
Mechanical fits, material compatibility, and environmental specs. Every physical junction specified and checkable.
Logistics
Assembly, routing, serviceability, and manufacturing constraints. Every step in the build sequence validated against the design.
Supply Chain
Sourcing, lifecycle, procurement, and vendor constraints. Every dependency tracked from specification to end-of-life.
Not tokens. Not dollars. Physics.
Built in Sarasota. For everywhere.
Delaware B-Corp
Incorporated as a benefit corporation. The mission — reducing compute energy cost — is written into the charter. Profit serves the mission, not the other way around.
Energy-Floor Pricing
We charge the energy cost of the compute your work consumes, plus infrastructure margin. No artificial tiers. No per-seat fees. You pay for physics, and physics doesn't negotiate.
Interfaces are everywhere.
If you see an interface problem worth solving, we want to hear about it.
