Applied work, research, writing, and service
Projects
My projects start with problems people can recognize: a decision that will not move, work hidden behind reports, authority that does not match responsibility, or AI tools operating without clear rules.
Current portfolio
IVA
Help for stuck decisions, unclear board packets, strategy that will not move, and organizations that need practical rules for AI.

Practical decisions about what an AI tool or agent may access, decide, and do, who is responsible, and when a person must review or stop the work.

Board service →The questions underneath the work
Who owns the work? Who can approve a change? Which records count as evidence? What time and money are actually available? What happens next, and when should the decision be reviewed?
Those questions apply to organizational decisions, public policy, board work, and AI-supported systems. The language changes by situation. The need for a clear answer does not.
