ACTIVE OBSERVATIONS

// 5 specimens currently under observation

SPECIMEN-07 ·AEGISAUR

HABITAT
the websites of school districts, cities, and special districts
DIET
stale PDFs · unmaintained CMS content · dead links
FIRST SIGHTED
2026-06-19
THREAT
STATUS
ACTIVE
observed: The flagship product. A website and publishing platform for public agencies: staff publish notices, events, and records once, and the site, the mobile app, and the alerts all come from that one source. Built and run by Tyrannosaurx.

SPECIMEN-11 ·SALEM BUS LIVE

HABITAT
bus stops in Salem, Oregon, and the phones of the people waiting at them
DIET
stale arrival boards · teleporting bus icons · "where is it"
FIRST SIGHTED
2026-08-27
THREAT
STATUS
ACTIVE
observed: A live map and trip planner for the Salem, Oregon bus network, built on Cherriots’ public GTFS and GTFS-RT feeds. Every bus on a map with delay rings, stop pages, and a journey planner, playing fifteen seconds behind the feed so buses move instead of teleporting. Installable on any phone now; a native iOS app is in progress. Built on our own time, because the arrival board was wrong again.

SPECIMEN-03 ·SCHEDULE FLOW

HABITAT
live production environments (churches, events, broadcast)
DIET
timing drift · rundown fragmentation
FIRST SIGHTED
2025-11-01
THREAT
STATUS
LARVAL · IN DEVELOPMENT
observed: In development. A canvas-based timeline engine for running crews through live services and events, so the rundown and the clock stay in one place. Not yet hunting at full size.

SPECIMEN-06 ·CAMPSITE SNIPER

HABITAT
Recreation.gov reservation queues
DIET
last-minute cancellations · manual refresh fatigue
FIRST SIGHTED
2026-05-02
THREAT
STATUS
ACTIVE
observed: A subscription watch service. Probes Recreation.gov continuously and alerts the instant a booked site reopens. Built for people who refuse to lose another long weekend to the refresh button.

SPECIMEN-08 ·MEMORY CORTEX

HABITAT
AI coding agents: Codex, Claude Code, MCP clients
DIET
session amnesia · unauditable recall · vendor-held context
FIRST SIGHTED
2026-07-22
THREAT
STATUS
ACTIVE
observed: Open source. Long-term memory for AI coding agents that runs on your own machine. Every fact is provenance-stamped and supersedable, so recall can be inspected and corrected instead of trusted blindly.

SPECIMEN-10 ·DAYLIGHT

HABITAT
household current accounts, the week before payday
DIET
annual premiums nobody remembers · blank-form budgeting · the balance-refresh reflex
FIRST SIGHTED
2026-08-05
THREAT
STATUS
LARVAL · IN DEVELOPMENT
observed: In development. Reads up to two years of a household’s real transactions, forecasts every recurring bill including the annual ones everyone forgets, and reduces what is left to one number for the day. Every figure opens to the transactions behind it. Observed circling; not yet hunting.

SPECIMEN-09 ·TYRANNOSAURX PUBLISHING

HABITAT
bedsides, bookshelves, the ten minutes before lights-out
DIET
stories told aloud and never written down · one more, please
FIRST SIGHTED
2026-07-24
THREAT
STATUS
ACTIVE
observed: The imprint. A children’s picture-book house publishing The Mice in the Next Bay, a series of illustrated stories set on Ponui Island, New Zealand, carried down four generations of one family before anyone wrote them down. The only specimen here that has never bitten anyone.

SPECIMEN-05 ·GOADVENTURETIME

HABITAT
RV rental fleets
DIET
platform fragmentation · booking conflicts
FIRST SIGHTED
2023-08-07
THREAT
STATUS
DORMANT
observed: On-device fleet manager. Syncs iCal across rental platforms, tracks maintenance, and prevents double-bookings. The original venture, now folded into the firm.
