Why Proper Tools exists
Proper Tools builds situational awareness and coordination capacity for long-lived cyber-physical infrastructure risks — with a focus on 2038-class rollover, embedded timing, and systemic dependencies across critical sectors.
What we do
- Executive & board briefings on systemic infrastructure & rollover risks.
- Fractional advisory for financial sector, government & critical infrastructure.
- Standards & policy alignment (FIRST, ITU-T, NIS2, DORA & related efforts).
- Research & collaboration toward a future Proper Tools Observatory.
Proper Tools Field Notes
A monthly dispatch on systemic infrastructure, continuity & hidden dependencies — not focused on 2038, but shaped by it.

Signals we're watching
- 2038-class rollover coordination gaps across standards & regulatory bodies.
- Legacy NTP dependencies in critical infrastructure.
- NIS2 & DORA reframing timing as a regulated systemic risk.
- Lifecycle mismatch between embedded devices & cyber-policy horizons.
