Product leader building decision infrastructure for regulated healthcare and AI teams.
Kanav Jain
I build response infrastructure — clocks that fire, records that persist, and maps that show who owns what — so teams move fast without losing track.
How the method formed
At 19, RNA binding curves in a thermodynamics lab. At 25, Dialer — 100M+ patient connections. At 33, research on burden and institutional mechanics. At 35, NextConsensus. Same method, different scales.
Diagnosed autistic at 33. Two decades of designing for clarity had language: systems for non-standard users first.
Building now
NextConsensus
NextConsensus produces Claim Stability Briefs for coverage, formulary, and market-access teams reviewing disputed claims. Each brief takes one claim in one decision window and answers whether the decision can still be challenged, where the argument is vulnerable, and what should trigger re-review. The work is manual — that's deliberate. The judgment layer needs to work before it gets automated.
Active venture
Refract
A deterministic observation engine for public knowledge. Refract turns MediaWiki revision history into structured event streams so downstream systems can inspect what changed, when, where, and with what source trail.
Active open-source infrastructure
Whether
A translation engine for converting macroeconomic indicators into practical operating guardrails so teams can adjust risk posture before disruption compounds.
Concept & technical scoping
Open-source and labs
Small, inspectable projects around provenance, publishing systems, decision artifacts, and sensory interfaces.
- Public knowledge infrastructure Refract Deterministic claim-history events from MediaWiki revision histories.
- Browser visualizer Stims MilkDrop-inspired music visuals built for immediate browser playback.
- Operating posture lab Whether Macro signal translation into bounded decisions and weekly artifacts.
- Archive BREAD FM Public archive for the BREAD music collective and its event history.
- Publishing stack The Crumple Zone Custom Cloudflare publishing and newsletter system for field writing.
Systems research & field notes
Frameworks for building systems teams can diagnose and repair. From Ethotechnics to production policy design — these are the working methods for making system behavior traceable and fixable under real-world pressure.
