Field Notes — observations from practice. Compressed notes from acquisitions, transformations and turnarounds in mid-sized tech businesses.

Practices — tactical mechanisms to copy and adapt. Meeting modes, decision rubrics, and patterns that tend to work.

Library — what I’m reading and thinking about.


Applied Scientific Thinking — the thread that runs through everything else here.

Decision Architecture — how decisions actually get made in organisations.

Capacity and Flow — why most capacity problems are actually flow problems.

Vertical Market Playbook — strategic patterns for vertical software.
