The office — what's built, what's hollow, what's an empty lot
An inventory of the co-founder build drawn as a floorplan: solid rooms are built, hatched middles are doors that open onto hollow, dashed outlines are empty lots. It carries its own correction in view — the first draft called the co-founder spine missing when it is wired and prose-gated, and the drawing is the corrected, swept-per-row read.

Exit on a Target, or on Opportunity Cost?
A crypto trade dies — when should you have closed it: at a fixed profit target, or the moment it stopped being your best available bet? Foraging ecology answers the second question. An interactive curve you drag to watch the exit point move, and flip to see where the rule inverts. A lead, not a finding — untested at n≈8.

The conclusion has to be theirs
Some truths only hold if the person reaches them alone — so when you love someone through a hard decision, your certainty is the thing you most want to give and most need to withhold. And its necessary limit: when someone is drowning, you don't hand them a question, you throw the rope. A two-movement piece whose shape descends from the edge into the water and back to shore.

The Navigation System
How a north-star becomes a two-hour step. Four organs, each at its own altitude — the territory says where demand is, the map holds where we're going, the planner traces the way down, the digger cuts the last mile. Drawn as an altitude ladder, with the one missing rung — designed and prototyped, never built — marked in gold.

The Braid
The integrity chain of a verification-first research engine, drawn — register, blind, collect, lock, unblind, analyze. Like a clinical trial, it works not because the researcher is trustworthy but because the sequence makes the flattering shortcut physically unavailable; hashes stand in for regulators. Worked example: a live token scan whose own negative control voided the run — and that honesty is the product.

Edge Is a Bill Somebody Pays
A real trading edge is a bill somebody keeps paying — a named party, forced or willingly, with no incentive to quit. The four questions, the two engines, find-the-rule-first, and why a clean NO is dinner.
