Problem & Solution: Enterprises currently rely on fragmented, expensive, and non-blockchain-native tools for critical security functions like file transfer, identity verification (KYC), and access control. This leads to high operational costs and complex compliance. ViperQB Middleware is built to solve this by offering a unified, modular, and affordable blockchain middleware suite. It integrates 10 microservice-based modules into a single platform where every action is anchored and verifiable on the Qubic Blockchain , establishing a new standard for enterprise trust infrastructure. Our solution is designed to be dramatically more cost-effective, estimated to be 5x cheaper than competitors. Key Features: The system features a Core Service Bus connecting key modules: Secure File Transfer (SFT): Includes chunked uploads, AES-256-GCM encryption, and on-chain verification of the final file hash. KYC Verification: An automated pipeline featuring WebRTC input, liveness detection, and FaceNet/ArcFace embeddings for face match scoring. Audit & Forensics: Stores EVERY log in a scalable database (ClickHouse/ELK) and ensures integrity by creating a daily hash of logs stored on chain. IoT Access Feed: Manages real-world devices, providing a live feed and enabling secure remote actions. The user interface is a polished SOC Team Monitoring Dashboard built with Next.js/Tailwind , providing real-time KPI monitoring and a robust audit log explorer.

The Shadow Mentor is an AI-driven solution built on IBM Watsonx that tackles the significant HR problem of "Post-Onboarding Ghosting". This refers to the critical gap that emerges after the first week of employment, where new hires feel lost and productivity drops because managers cease constant hand-holding. The agent serves as an Invisible Onboarding Companion, ensuring continuous and personalized functional and cultural integration for the new hire.The system operates based on a constant Perceive , Decide , Act loop. It Perceives by using Watsonx Skills (Calendar, Slack, HRIS read access) to scan the employee's activity and identify "Integration Gaps" (e.g., no manager 1:1, or failure to access a core code repository). It then Decides the necessary intervention by consulting its knowledge base, which includes features like matching the user with their certification path/roadmap and confirming their role (Junior/Senior). Finally, it Acts discreetly, either by ghost-booking a 15-minute check-in on the manager's calendar with talking points or by sending a personalized Slack DM to the new hire with direct links for tasks like setting up a 401k.Crucially, the Shadow Mentor offers Intelligent Provisioning by assigning a pre-configured, role-specific initial project. This is central to Performance Tracking, which includes scoring and Tests with 3 retakes before certificate enrollment. Additional features include a smart calendar with a predictive clock and a switch for Active/Manual scheduling. By connecting enterprise systems intelligently, the Shadow Mentor transforms the risk of abandonment into a powerful opportunity for seamless, productive, and supported employee integration from day one.
