What he has built.
The work index lists what James Brady has built, won and made work: work for clients named by industry, his companies, his teaching, the tools he gave away and his agent fleet, each with its dates and its status. Below it, his public record on GitHub is a specimen tray, one catalogue label for each repository with a story of its own, grouped by the thread it grew on.
68 pieces of work: 49 live, 10 shipped, 6 retired, 3 with a status the studies could not tell. Status as the 2026-09-28 studies checked it. Live: in use today. Shipped: finished and delivered. Retired: ended. Unknown: the studies could not tell.
