A real $47.6 million affordable-housing application in Los Angeles. We gave Skumu the application and the rules. Not the result.

Skumu's number is the score the application earned under the written rules. The agency's number is its final figure after the adjustments agencies make, and the record shows exactly where the two diverge and why. A system that can explain the difference is worth more than one that hides it.

WHY NOW

This company could not have been built three years ago.

The record was always public. It was never readable.

The material was waiting. The instrument just arrived.

PROOF BEFORE ANSWER

Skumu will not give you an answer it cannot prove.

The engine reproduces those published scores to the decimal, a miss of exactly 0.000. And when it cannot reproduce an agency's math, it does not guess.

ONE RECORD / EVERY SEAT

This is not a dashboard showing everybody the same information. It is one decision record, viewed by the people who hold different responsibilities for making the project real.

THE COMPOUNDING

Every allocation round becomes evidence.

This is the part that compounds.

The structured history of how those rules have actually decided — round after round, program after program — is being built in one place, and it gets harder to catch every time an agency publishes.

HOW BIG

One decision structure. Every regulated dollar.

A new market is a new corpus on the same machine — not a new company, not a rebuild, not a pivot.

OUT OF STEALTH

We spent nine months building this quietly. That part is over.

Skumu is live at app.skumu.ai and the first pilot teams are bringing their own California deals into the system now.

FOUNDER

He spent twenty years on the losing side of this. Then he fixed it.

He hired the right people — attorneys, consultants, grant writers and public-affairs teams — and learned the hard way that talent was never the problem.
