Approach (04)
What holds across projects
P / 01
Trust-centric by default
Source tags over confidence theater. It says "I don't know" out loud instead of guessing, and shows where every answer came from. The expert stays in charge. The machine just runs the triage.
P / 02
Atomic Research as practice
Qualitative findings as atomic, queryable units. Same logic from Sheets-by-hand to LLM agents. Adapted from Pidcock, sharpened in healthcare. Method is what compounds, tools are throughput.
P / 03
Methods over tools
Tools change every year. Methods compound for decades. I bet on the practices I'll still be using in five.
P / 04
Constraints as signal
What a project leaves on the table tells you more than what it ships. The messy middle is a senior move, not a junior risk.
