01 · Attribution
What counts as a contribution?
We're studying how teams describe, value, and dispute non-code work — design, intros, decks, governance. The taxonomy in the product is the first cut; we expect to revise it as the data comes in.
Research
What we're studying.
Tillio is a product, and it's a study of the thing the product does. We publish what we learn — methods, datasets where we can, and the occasional incorrect prediction.
02 · Evaluation
AI scores, human verdicts.
Our evaluation engine drafts a unit value and a rationale for every contribution. We measure where the model is right, where owners override it, and what the override patterns tell us about category weights.
03 · Equity in motion
Cap tables that move with the work.
Most cap tables are amended quarterly, badly. We're studying what changes when the cap table updates the moment a contribution clears — for retention, for fairness, and for the quality of the work itself.
04 · Disputes
Disagreeing well.
When contributors disagree on a unit value, what makes the resolution feel fair? We're tracking which evidence patterns close disputes fastest, and which structures keep them out of legal.
Working with us
Academic & applied collaborations.
If you're researching the economics of distributed work — fair compensation, attribution theory, dispute resolution, or AI-assisted evaluation — we'd like to hear from you.
We share anonymized data with academic partners under DUA. We co-author when the work warrants it. We're especially interested in projects that put quantitative pressure on our category weights.
