Upside Down Research, LLC builds SaaS products, and takes on custom development, for people who need software to be correct under pressure. We focus on delivering substance over superficiality.
Our products include Housecarl Arbiter, our flagship formal reasoning engine; Housecarl AuthZ, an authorization service sold for on-prem deployment by platform teams; and Housecarl Tupshar, an AI-native knowledge base and document store (research preview).
Arbiter productized the last 50 years of research on reasoning under uncertainty into an advanced reasoner suitable for wide use: it weighs conflicting sources by reliability and recency, keeps the disagreements visible instead of averaging them away, and returns a verdict you can trace back to the evidence. Housecarl AuthZ is one of the most advanced authorization systems in commercial play today.
News, technical writing, and other updates are available at the writing section. The latest writing is about our software stack.
