The operation goes legitimate

In April 2026 the subject stopped freelancing under other people's letterheads and put his own name on the door. Project 43 — a small studio taking on more than standard websites.

Every long investigation reaches the moment the subject incorporates. For years this desk tracked him through other people's operations — a storefront here, a quoting engine there, prints on everything but a name on nothing. In April 2026 that changed. Project 43 was registered, a flagship site went up, and the subject was last seen signing his own work.

The studio's brief, per its own literature, is more than standard websites: fuller applications, built for clients who need software rather than brochures. The web side traces directly to him — mostly Next.js with a Supabase data layer, shipped on Vercel, the same toolkit found at every prior scene in this file. A team handles the rest.

The name itself is filed as evidence. This paper's masthead carries Case No. 43; the studio carries the same number. The desk declines to call that a coincidence.

“For years his prints were on everything and his name on nothing. That changed in April.”

The flagship is in production at project43.com.au. The investigation notes that a subject who founds a studio rarely returns to anonymous work, and recommends the reader inspect the premises directly.
