A modest digital publishing estate covering British politics, Christian theology, empirical scientific patent research, and fully-developed Hollywood feature films. Each one is a small seed idea aimed at a specific question in political socio-cultural life not yet fully explored or answered.
How can you give a scattered intellectual polity a central voice?
The Restorationist® is an online political magazine which publishes six deep-dive essays a week at 7am GMT focused on critiquing and rebuilding the British state from a libertarian-right (Burke, Dicey, Hayek) worldview. Its readership has grown to approximately 40,000 readers a month, most who are drawn to long-form, well-referenced writing which is authoritative.
How can we collate and visualise an unchartable labyrinth of UK quangos?
Afuera (Automatic Firing of Undemocratic Extraneous Regulators & Agencies) is a manual research analysis of the UK 630+ quasi-autonomous non-government organisations (“quangos”) which swallow $400 billion a year in taxpayer funds. It is published as open source data.
How can ordinary people easily understand what their politicians are proposing?
4000+ potential bills are lodged in the British parliamentary backlog, with only slow and inefficient APIs to understand them. Bill Explorer is a rapid, portable contact surface for studying and searching legislation released as open source data.
How can ordinary voters learn UK electoral game theory?
40 million British voters have given up on a winner-takes-all electoral system no-one has explained how to play. As a race of 650 smaller races, historical electoral results can be understood as the Colonel Blotto game which can be taught with coins and glasses.
How can the tragedy which has happened to Britain over 120 years be explained to her friends?
The Leviathan Dashboard charts how the British state took over British life after 1900. A century ago sick pay, pensions, doctors, housing and finding work were run by ordinary people, through friendly societies, unions, churches, charities and families.

How can we document the extent of the UK’s Orwellian surveillance state?
The Panopticon Dashboard is a plain-English record of 166 laws, powers and orders that turned Britain into an open prison between 1911 and 2026, each with the reason the public was given at the time. It maps the 122 databases, camera networks and interception powers the state runs on its own population, and the 39 kinds of order that can be placed on a citizen without a jury, nineteen of them needing no conviction at all.

Shouldn’t churches be working and competing together for the kingdom?
Many Christians share a calling to visit prisoners, care for widows and foster families, feed the hungry and comfort the grieving, but too few of them sit in any one congregation to act on it alone. Church Fabric imagines an independent ministry that weaves believers from many churches together into the works Scripture commands, sketched here for Orange County, California.
How can busy people engage with their faith on the go?
Faithchef is a simple blog which auto-publishes three articles each day, at specific times, for Christians who want their relationship with God to be more than a Sunday visit to church. Scripture on the way to work; a deep-dive sermon during lunch hour; and a prayer after a long day.
How can victims of abuse report what happened to them securely?
The grooming gang scandal is estimated to have perhaps as many as a million child victims, yet all the attempts to provide reporting technology to date have been insecure, rushed, and amateur. Tell Someone provides a live template of how to deploy whistleblowing capability using open source components.
How quickly can we build support materials which help visualise good ideas?
Project Sentinel is a proposal to rebuild the Royal Observer Corps for the modern age: an auxiliary service under RAF command, made up of trained, vetted volunteers who watch the skies, report what they see, and help their communities when drones, floods or attack overwhelm the systems we depend on.
An external project, not created by AC DEV SERVICES.
How can we bring local cold case files to life?
OC Files is an independent public reference to the unsolved homicides and missing-person cases of Orange County, California, since 1966: each person’s story told from the beginning, with a map of where they lived, were last seen and were found, and a timeline.
