+# Deep Fathom
+
+**Making continuous CMMC readiness the norm for the Defense Industrial
+Base.**
+
+We're builders, security veterans, and engineers shipping an
+AI-native compliance system for CMMC — one that guides priorities,
+orchestrates work across teams and tools, automates the routine steps,
+verifies in flow, and keeps documentation synchronized as the work
+moves.
+
+This is where we publish the open building blocks of that system.
+
+## Active project
+
+[**basalt**](https://huggingface.co/deepfathom/basalt) — a CMMC /
+NIST SP 800-171 / DFARS practitioner Q&A LoRA adapter on top of
+`ibm-granite/granite-4.1-8b`. Currently private during M-Train v1
+validation; release is contingent on completed eval and license review
+of the base-model and corpus terms.
+
+## How we build the models
+
+- **Curation over scale.** ~13K judge-validated practitioner pairs
+  beat 100K of unfiltered scrapes for narrow regulatory domains.
+- **Provenance everywhere.** Every published artifact ties back to a
+  reproducible training run — data version, seed, hyperparameters,
+  judge configuration.
+- **Adapters, not merges.** Domain deltas ship as LoRA adapters,
+  composable at runtime with the upstream base via PEFT / vLLM. Users
+  get the latest base model plus our specialty layer, swappable
+  independently.
+
+## Principles
+
+- **More rigor. Radically less effort.** Higher compliance standards
+  delivered with less friction.
+- **Frontier AI, applied.** Where useful, where the math is real,
+  where the trade-offs are honest.
+- **Security and compliance, intertwined by design.** Proof and
+  protection, not bolted on after the fact.
+- **One truth, shared authority.** Same view across the team, the
+  partner, and the assessor.
+
+## Who we work with
+
+- **Defense contractors and DIB suppliers** — from primes down to the
+  small businesses CMMC was always going to test hardest.
+- **MSPs and MSSPs** delivering compliance services without building
+  the in-house regulatory expertise from scratch.
+- **C3PAOs and assessors** who need shared evidence, not screenshots.
