ORIGIN — WHY THIS EXISTSEST. 2026
Confyro started at Princeton. The idea came earlier, in a controlling department in Budapest, where as a finance intern I reconciled 100+ invoices a month by hand — checking every rate, every date, every total against the contracts they came from. What I learned: the errors that cost real money are small, they hide in documents everyone has already read, and finding them is exactly the kind of work people are worst at — repetitive, detail-critical, endless.
Then I spent a summer as a research assistant on a Nobel-laureate economics project, cleaning a historical dataset of 10,000 bondholders from Alexander Hamilton's 1790 refinancing plan. Financial history is unforgiving: a transcription error is the difference between evidence and noise. That project set my standard for what "verified" should mean.
Confyro is that discipline, automated. It reads your outgoing document, checks every claim against your own reference library, and cites its evidence verbatim — on your server, under your control. It flags; humans decide. And when it cannot prove something, it says so, because unverifiable is not verified.
I'm building Confyro at Princeton, where I study economics — under the same rule I train with as a Division I athlete: show up every day, verify everything, no shortcuts.
