6DOTS · Washington, DC · Degrees of Technical Separation
A product studio that builds software, sensing systems, and the teams that ship them.
We design and operate our own products, take on a handful of client builds each year, and connect good technical people to work worth doing. Behind it: 15+ years and $80M+ of delivered federal technology programs.
What we build
Live products, not slideware.
DemandAI.Pro
AI legal tech · web + iOS
Turns demand letter creation from an 8-hour manual job into a 5-minute workflow. HIPAA-compliant medical record analysis built on Claude and GPT-4.
Read the case study →GivingStump
Contractor marketplace · web + iOS
A tree-services marketplace that puts contractors first: 5–10% fees instead of the usual 20–30%, storm alerts, and escrow-secured payments. DC metro.
Read the case study →Passive Magnetic Sensing
Sensing platform · runs in your browser
Real-time magnetic-field monitoring with FFT spectral fingerprinting, buried-source localization, and a NOAA space-weather feed. No install.
Launch the live demo →What we do
The same people who ship our products are available for a small number of client engagements.
Services in detail →Product engineering
Full-stack web and iOS development, from architecture to the App Store. Next.js, React, TypeScript, Swift.
AI integration
Production AI features with Claude and GPT-4: document intelligence, agents, retrieval, and compliance-aware builds.
RF & sensing systems
Wireless security and passive sensing: RF monitoring, magnetometry, and signal-processing pipelines.
The network came first
6DOTS started with a simple idea: everyone worth working with is a few degrees of technical separation away. We're recruiting again — engineers, designers, and operators who want project-based work on things that actually ship. One email is the whole application.

What is 6DOTS?
6DOTS, short for "Degrees of Technical Separation", is a Washington DC–area product studio founded by Ross Day. We design, build, and operate our own software products, take on select client engineering work, and run a network that connects skilled technical people to real projects.
What has 6DOTS actually built?
DemandAI.Pro, an AI-powered legal tech platform that cuts demand letter creation from 8+ hours to about 5 minutes. GivingStump, a contractor-first marketplace for tree services in the DC metro with 5–10% fees instead of the industry-standard 20–30%. And a browser-based passive magnetic sensing platform with FFT spectral fingerprinting and buried-source localization.
Does 6DOTS take client work?
Yes. We take a small number of engagements in full-stack product engineering (Next.js, React, TypeScript, iOS), AI integration (Claude, GPT-4, retrieval, agents), and RF/magnetic sensing systems. Email rday@6dotsdc.com to start a conversation.
How do I join the 6DOTS network?
We recruit engineers, designers, and operators for project-based work: full-stack and iOS developers, AI engineers, RF and embedded engineers, and federal capture/BD talent. Visit 6dotsdc.com/network or email rday@6dotsdc.com with the subject "Join the 6DOTS Network".
Where is 6DOTS located?
6DOTS is based in the Washington DC metro area (Virginia) and works with clients and network members across the United States.
