The network · A thesis, stated plainly
An operating system for the physical property economy.
That sentence is the long-term ambition, and this page is where we argue for it in public, carefully. Nothing on it is for sale. What’s for sale is the first stage: software a contractor runs on Tuesday.
The argument
Five steps, one direction.
01
Work software forgets
Every trade visit produces knowledge: what's behind that wall, which valve sticks, what the panel really feeds. Today it evaporates when the invoice is paid.
02
The property is the constant
Owners sell, tenants move, contractors churn. The building stays. The record that matters is the one attached to the thing that persists.
03
One side is already writing it
Thorbis contractors build dated, photographed, signed property records every day, as a side effect of running their business well. That's Core, today.
04
The other side wants to read it
The building's operators (facilities teams, property managers, eventually owners) are the natural second reader of a record that already exists.
05
Then it's a network
When both sides of property work meet on the same record, finding, hiring, and proving work stops being a search-engine problem. That is the long game.
The physical property economy
The work is out there.
Trucks, buildings, crews, and thirty-year assets: an economy that deserves software built for it, not adapted to it.
Where each piece stands
The thesis, priced in stages.
The contractor OS
Now · Core
The board, the truck phone, the invoice, the record: Core, at the posted price.
Projects
Next
The long commercial job: phases, draws, change orders.
The facilities side
Design partners
The building's operators on the record its contractors write.
The network itself
Thesis
Both sides meeting on shared property records. This page is its entire current footprint.
What this page refuses
No “10,000 contractors strong.”
Network pitches usually lead with a number: members, cities, jobs matched. We publish no network-size claims because the honest current number of network products for sale here is zero. When there is a real network with a real count, the count will be measured, and it will be here. Meanwhile the thesis stands on its argument.

Start
Start where the record starts.
Every long thesis begins with software someone actually buys. Ours is a board a shop runs on Tuesday. The network grows out of the records it writes.
Waitlist open. One email when your invite is ready, nothing else.
