Methods
How I approach the work.
One operating doctrine, Strategic Influence Architecture, and three named methods that run it in practice. Together they answer the question every institution actually asks: will this hold up where the decision is made?
Strategic Influence Architecture
The umbrella doctrine that frames the three methods below. It brings decision science, institutional strategy, AI systems, foresight, and execution into one engagement, so the strategy, the technology, and the way the institution decides are built together rather than bolted on. It is what turns a good idea into a system an institution will adopt and defend.
The Epirroi Factors
A model of what an institution requires before it will adopt a decision. The Epirroi Factors make those requirements explicit, so work is built to clear governance, a board, or a regulator, not merely to impress in a demo. It is the discipline behind work that is built to be adopted.
Aperture
The upstream gate. Before a single resource is committed, Aperture fixes the real problem, the audience, the source of truth, and the conditions that count as done, so the work starts aimed at the right target instead of drifting toward a plausible but wrong one. It is the discipline that decides what is worth building before anything gets built.
Crucible
An adversarial verification method. Crucible stress-tests AI systems and analysis before they reach a decision-maker, applying independent, skeptical review across multiple lenses to surface what is fragile, unproven, or wrong while it is still cheap to fix. It is the reason the work survives contact with a codebase and a review board instead of failing in front of them.
