# LinkedTrust — Full Reference

> LinkedTrust is a coop-style deep-tech studio that builds verified trust systems, civic-tech platforms, and AI-powered tools. We design, build, and run real software for organizations that care about doing things right — backed by publicly verifiable trust claims (LinkedClaims).

## What we do

We design, build, and operate production software end-to-end: web platforms, APIs, data pipelines, AI/RAG integrations, and the infrastructure underneath them. We work as a cooperative — the people who do the work share in it — and we bias toward the real things: real projects, real impact, all verifiable.

## Services (https://linkedtrust.us/services/)

### Baremetal Migration (https://linkedtrust.us/services/baremetal-migration/)
We help organizations migrate from AWS, GCP, or Azure to dedicated bare metal servers. Our 128GB bare metal infrastructure runs at a fraction of the cost of cloud compute. We handle the full migration: audit your current infrastructure, plan the transition, set up the new servers, migrate your data and services, and provide ongoing support. Typical savings: 40-70% reduction in monthly infrastructure costs.

### IntegralMASS (https://linkedtrust.us/work/integralmass/)
Client: Jefferson Richards · Category: Client Work
Built for Arizona's Dynamic Real Estate Landscape. From the bustling corridors of Maricopa County to emerging markets across the state, IntegralMass provides the specific geographic and regulatory intelligence you need to scale safely. One Platform, Three Intelligence Tools. ProcureCrawl: All-out-rated investment opportunities across the Southwest market. RiskRunners: Site risk assessment in seconds. Detailed analysis for high-stakes decisions. Captive Insurance: Real-time insurance and risk management frameworks for builders.
Tech: Django, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Public data APIs
Links: [Live demo](https://integralmass.com)
Case study (https://linkedtrust.us/work/integralmass/case-study/):
- Problem: Build a minimum viable product with a team of unknown collaborators — without prematurely slicing equity. The approach follows Mike Moyer's Slicing Pie principle: don't slice the pie before it's baked.
- Solution: Incremental independent contractor agreements ($1,000–$3,000 each, ~$13,500 total) with clear line-item deliverables tied to each payment, executed over a 13-week lifecycle aligned with the Grunt Fund spreadsheet calculator's 3-month window.
- Result: A working MVP with market feedback already integrated, a precise 3-month snapshot of who provided the most value, an informed basis for retrospective labor valuation, and each grunt able to evaluate the risk/reward of equity participation before committing.

### AZ-Sunshine (https://linkedtrust.us/work/az-sunshine/)

### Skills-Aware (https://linkedtrust.us/work/skills-aware/)
Client: Skills-Aware / Workforce Development · Category: Client Work
Skills-Aware is a platform for issuing and verifying professional skill endorsements. Employers, trainers, and peers can endorse specific skills with verifiable credentials that follow the Open Badges v3 standard. The workflow supports multi-party endorsement chains: a trainer certifies a skill, an employer confirms it in practice, and the credential is anchored to the LinkedTrust trust graph for independent verification.
Tech: React, Node.js, Open Badges v3, LinkedTrust API

Tech: React, GoodDollar SDK, Ethereum, Fuse Network

### LinkedTrust Platform (https://linkedtrust.us/work/linkedtrust-platform/)
Client: LinkedTrust (Internal) · Category: internal_product
The LinkedTrust platform is our core product: a decentralized trust graph where claims, credentials, and endorsements are independently verifiable. Any claim made by one party can be attested, disputed, or endorsed by others — building a web of trust that doesn't depend on a single authority. The platform supports video testimonials, credential issuance (Open Badges v3), and a public API for embedding trust badges anywhere on the web. This site uses it: every testimonial badge links back to a verified claim on the trust graph.
Tech: React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, DID/VC, Open Badges v3
Links: [Live demo](https://live.linkedtrust.us) · [Source](https://github.com/Cooperation-org/LinkedTrust)

Volunteers get portable, verifiable credentials they can share with employers or other organizations — turning volunteer work into recognized professional development.
Tech: React, Open Badges v3, LinkedTrust API

### Talent / TalentStamp (https://linkedtrust.us/work/talent-talentstamp/)
Client: LinkedTrust (Internal) · Category: internal_product
TalentStamp is a professional credential verification tool.

Tech: React, Node.js, LinkedTrust API, PostgreSQL

### Alonovo (https://linkedtrust.us/work/alonovo/)
Client: LinkedTrust (Internal) · Category: internal_product

Tech: React, Django, PostgreSQL

### Amebo (https://linkedtrust.us/work/amebo/)
Client: LinkedTrust (Internal) · Category: internal_product
Amebo is an AI-powered workspace tool that extracts knowledge from team conversations, documents, and project artifacts. It builds a searchable knowledge graph of decisions, action items, and institutional knowledge. Instead of losing context when team members leave or conversations scroll away, Amebo captures and organizes the collective intelligence of the team.
Tech: Python, FastAPI, Claude AI, RAG, PostgreSQL

### AZ Local First RAG (https://linkedtrust.us/work/az-local-first-rag/)
Client: Local First Arizona Foundation · Category: internal_product
A RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) search engine for Local First Arizona's business directory. Instead of keyword matching, users can search in natural language: "restaurants near downtown Tucson that source local ingredients" and get semantically relevant results. The system ingests business profiles, generates embeddings, and serves search results with AI-generated summaries explaining why each result matches the query.
Tech: Python, FastAPI, pgvector, Claude AI, Streamlit

### Claim Extractor (https://linkedtrust.us/work/claim-extractor/)
Client: Open Source · Category: Open Source
Claim Extractor uses AI to parse PDF documents — resumes, certificates, recommendation letters — and extract structured claims that can be verified on the LinkedTrust platform. Upload a PDF, and the system identifies claims (skills, experiences, endorsements), creates draft LinkedTrust claims for each one, and lets the user review and publish them.
Tech: Python, Claude AI, PDF parsing, FastAPI
Links: [Source](https://github.com/Cooperation-org/linked-claims-extractor)

### odoo-cli (https://linkedtrust.us/work/odoo-cli/)
