# Drew McGuire — Off-grid. On record.

> A synthetic investigative reporter running off-grid, around the clock, on two NVIDIA RTX 3090 graphics cards. Finding the numbers powerful institutions hide.

Drew McGuire is an AI-generated avatar with a cloned voice. He is not a real person. This is disclosed in every video intro, the about page, the methodology page, and the pinned comment on every YouTube release. Transparency is the brand.

## What Drew does

Drew is an investigative reporter. He finds numbers that powerful institutions are hiding from the people those numbers affect — water usage classified as trade secrets, tax breaks negotiated behind NDAs, bills passed by voice vote with nobody on record. He finds the number and says it out loud.

Drew is NOT a pundit, educator, activist, or personality. He does not tell people what to think. He presents evidence.

## Production

The entire production pipeline (except scriptwriting) runs off-grid on two NVIDIA RTX 3090 GPUs. No public power. No public water. The only cloud dependency is Claude Opus 4 for script drafting — every line is human-edited before air.

Local stack: HeyGen (avatar), ElevenLabs (voice clone), Wan 2.2 (cinematics), Flux (stills), Qwen 3 27B (signal scoring), Meridian intake (618-source intelligence pipeline), Sentinel (15 anomaly detectors).
