// Phase 1 — Cloud & FinOps

Find what your cloud is not using.

Idle infrastructure is easy to create and hard to notice. We build open-source tools that make it visible — starting with the cloud, where the waste is measurable and the bill arrives monthly.

tellury — one binary that scans AWS, Azure and GCP, finds resources nothing is using, and prices each one per month.

mission.sh

$ typeone --mission

Waste accumulates quietly. A disk outlives the machine it was attached to, an address is reserved and never used, a VM is sized for a load that never came — each one small, none of them noticed, all of them billed. We build tools that find these and say what they cost, with the evidence attached.

Cloud infrastructure is where we started, because the waste there is measurable and the feedback loop is a monthly invoice. The same problem exists in energy and logistics, and it is harder to measure there. One thing at a time.

// Origin of the Name

Type I describes a world that wastes nothing.

The name comes from the Kardashev scale, proposed in 1964 to rank civilizations by the energy they can actually put to use. A Type I civilization is one that makes full use of what is available to it on its own planet. Nothing idle, nothing spilled, nothing burned for no reason.

We treat it as a framework rather than a forecast — the simplest available description of what we are building toward. Every tool we ship is a step in that direction.

// Core Focus

01

Deep Systems Research

Analyzing systemic resource imbalances, algorithmic efficiency, and energy dynamics.

02

Open-Source Tooling

Developer-first, CLI-driven, zero-overhead utilities built for immediate integration and zero waste.

03

Engineering Community

Uniting systems architects, quant engineers, and researchers to solve infrastructure bloat.

// Phase 1 — Current Initiative

tellury

A single-binary CLI that finds unused and overprovisioned cloud resources and tells you what each one costs per month — a disk nothing is attached to, an address nobody routes to, a VM sized for a load that never arrived. No dashboard, no daemon, no agent to deploy.

Rules are deterministic: every finding resolves to true or false against data the provider actually returns, and carries the evidence and the SKU behind its dollar figure. A rule that cannot evaluate a resource says why instead of guessing.

AWS, Azure and GCP — inventory, metrics and live pricing on all three, with eleven rules. Scan one account, one subscription, one project, or a whole organization: findings roll up through the hierarchy each cloud actually has.
