The team
A small team with a public track record
Every Caritas engagement is logged as an outcome-based bounty in ARLOS, our engagement ledger. The numbers on this page are computed from that ledger and refresh automatically. They are the same numbers our earnings are tied to.

Engagement counts cover work logged in ARLOS since the ledger launched in late 2025. The track record before that lives in our case studies.
