Industrial IT, software and AI, built to still run the next morning.
A group of five companies and two products around one engineer. On the IT side of the plant floor, in finance, in construction, in hospitality: we build things that hold up in front of an auditor.

Companies
Five companies, nothing in common except us.
Advising a refinery, handing over a building, training a model, running a card room and dispatching a chauffeured car.
Products
Built for ourselves first, sold since.
Each one started as a problem nothing on the market solved. We ran them in-house before selling them to anyone else, and the range keeps growing.
The crypto tax report your accountant can actually file. FIFO cost basis, transfer fees broken out, loss carry-forward tracked year to year.
Open ChainTaxReportShared custody, kept straight. Custody schedule, handovers, change requests answered accept or refuse.
Open CrapouIndustrial IT consulting, where IT meets automation
Industrial IT consulting for the oil and pharmaceutical sectors.
We do not run plants, we work inside our clients'. Our place is at the junction of IT and automation: supervision and SCADA, industrial protocols, virtualized infrastructures and the custom software the vendor never shipped, on installations where downtime is counted in lost production hours and where every change has to hold up in front of an auditor.
Typical engagements
State of the art, risks, virtualization plan, network segmentation, documentation.
Legacy supervision to modern virtualized platforms; interfaces to MES / ERP.
Converters, gateways, diagnostic and reporting tools built on site.
Production down: root cause, fix, and the runbook so it does not happen again.

General contractor
General contractor, from structural work to handover.
From the plot to the handover, under a single contract. The company holds every professional access authorisation the Belgian trades require, so structural work, building services and finishing stay in house instead of disappearing down a chain of subcontractors.
Facts
Artificial intelligence and Web 3.0, for industry and for finance
Artificial intelligence and Web 3.0, for industry and finance.
We put models to work on real data. Production data on the industrial side, market data on the financial one, where we design and run AI-driven trading systems. No demonstrations: systems that decide, log what they did and account for it.
What we build
Built with and for investment funds and family offices. LLMs write, test and evolve strategies; walk-forward, Monte Carlo, drawdown safeguards.
ChainTaxReport for tax reporting; a multi-chain backup verification tool for fund managers, designed for MiCA.
Autonomous agents on industrial and financial data, with cost control and traceability.

Poker club
Poker club, tournaments and cash games.
A card room is a hospitality business with an audit trail. Half the work is the floor itself, tournament structure, dealers and table management. The other half never shows: member identification, cash handling, surveillance and record keeping.
Facts
Built for ourselves first, sold since.
Record the year's transactions and the report follows: realised gains computed first-in first-out, transfer fees itemised, losses carried forward from previous years, and an annual PDF with its full transaction annex, ready to attach to the return.
One calendar for both households: who has the children, when and where the handover happens, and what changes when plans do. Shared expenses sit next to it, receipts attached, each one accepted or disputed. Every decision is timestamped.
