Independent Technology Practice

Quietly working on what matters.

We protect what carries your name, teach the people working under it, and help you decide where AI belongs. Built for the companies taking the long view.

Our work tends to resonate with businesses that

01

Have a name worth protecting and want to know who else is using it.

02

Want their people trained by someone in the room, not a video.

03

Want help identifying which AI ideas actually belong inside the business.

04

Would rather bring in depth for specific work than carry it year round.

[ 01 ] Practices

Three practices.
Each one starts somewhere specific.

Not every business needs everything at once. Below is what each practice delivers and where it makes sense to begin.

01 Security
Ongoing or one time

Brand & Domain Protection

Your name is an asset, and other people register domains that look like it. We find them, document what they are being used for, and get them taken down. When something warrants a closer look, we scope the work, run it, and hand you a written report you can act on.

  • Lookalike domain discovery
  • Takedown filings, tracked to removal
  • Scoped assessments, written findings
  • Monitoring for new registrations
02 Training
Per session

Training & Awareness

Live, every time. In person or virtual, never pre-recorded, because the value is in the room and the questions people ask once they feel comfortable asking them. We also build curriculum from scratch when a team needs something that outlasts a single session.

  • Cybersecurity and privacy sessions
  • AI fundamentals for non-technical teams
  • Custom curriculum and course design
  • Delivered in person or virtually
03 AI
By engagement

AI Advisory

Which AI ideas belong inside your business, and which ones are better left alone. We start with the work your team already does every day, find the places where AI genuinely helps, and stay involved through the part where it has to actually run.

  • Workflow review and opportunities
  • Tool selection, privacy answered first
  • Implementation and rollout support
  • Team enablement with live training

[ 02 ] Approach

How we work
with you.

We love this work. The right team makes a real difference in how technology supports a business, and we've built the practice around the kind of people we'd want responsible for our own systems.

01

You talk to experts first

The first conversation should feel productive, not transactional. We involve people who understand both the technology and the humans relying on it.

02

We value continuity

Strong working relationships create better context, better decisions, and better outcomes over time.

03

Clear communication

Technology works best when people can speak openly, ask thoughtful questions, and understand the direction together.

04

Trust still matters

As technology becomes more automated, relationships, judgment, and dependable people become even more important.

[ 03 ] About

We love technology. We're here to help you put it to work.

World Digital Services has been doing this work since 2017. The businesses we work with are already good at what they do. Technology should help them do more of it, not get in the way.

Years of work across different environments shaped how we approach the job today. Different businesses reach different moments with technology, security, and growth. Our role is to help make the next step clearer, stronger, and more intentional.

The first conversation is exactly that: a conversation. We'll listen to what you're building, share our perspective honestly, and figure out together whether we're the right team for the work.

A place to start

Start with your own name.

A domain name can be written more ways than most people expect. Type yours in and count them.

The math runs in your browser. Nothing is sent to us, nothing is looked up, and nothing is stored.

What exactly is being counted

A character swapped for a stand-in. Characters from Cyrillic, Greek and Armenian that are visually identical to a Latin one, digits that read as letters, and the two-character shapes rn, vv and cl. Latin letters carrying accents are deliberately left out: a mark above a letter is visible, so it belongs to the theoretical space rather than this one. The full table:

Typing mistakes. A letter dropped, a letter doubled, two letters reversed, a stray hyphen, or a finger landing on the next key along. Not every possible character substitution, which would count thousands of strings nobody would ever type.

Joined to a word. A fixed list of 48 terms used in impersonation, each placed before and after the name, with and without a hyphen. Four forms per term.

Across ten extensions. The root zone holds 1,593 delegated top-level domains as of February 2026, so the complete space runs to millions. That figure is true and not much use. These ten are your own extension plus nine where impersonation concentrates. This tier is a judgment call, and so is the table above it.

Not counted. Two mistakes at once, combinations across the rows above, subdomains placed under a name someone else owns, and anything that would not survive a second look. The number is a realistic candidate set, not every string that could exist.

A review we run goes wider than this. This page stops at what a person would plausibly be fooled by, because that is the useful number to look at first. The work itself does not stop there. It covers the variants ruled out above, the extensions left off the list, and the combinations this arithmetic sets aside, then reports which of them actually exist and what they are being used for.

Counting the space is arithmetic. Knowing which names in it are registered, which resolve, which are sending mail, and which are aimed at you is the work.

Enter a domain above to see the count.
