The studio, narrowly.

A close‑knit team, carefully assembled. We work with a limited number of clients at a time, deeply.

Charles Matte, CFA

Founder · Engineering & strategy

Charles founded Labyrinthe to do two things — custom software and applied AI — for a small number of clients, end‑to‑end. Before Labyrinthe, he held senior engineering and product roles in financial services and built complex platforms for mid‑market clients across North America.

His background blends financial discipline (CFA) with deep software craft. Every engagement starts and ends with him — and most of the work in between, by design. The studio stays small on purpose.

The agents.

Three systems. Each does one job, narrowly.

  1. § 02

    Dolores

    Specification agent

    Built on Claude Code. Engaged once a project starts. Asks the questions a senior PM would ask and produces a ready‑to‑build PRD — scope, constraints, open questions named — for whoever runs point on the engagement.

  2. § 03

    Bernard

    Engineering agent

    Reviews architectural choices, drafts technical decisions, audits production code in flight. A second pair of eyes that doesn't tire — built to argue back, awake at 2 a.m.

  3. § 04

    William

    Analysis agent

    Pulls signal from operational data, financial statements, contracts, decision logs. Reports the numbers that matter — and the math behind each one.
