Methodologies

Structured frameworks for planning, research, synthesis, delivery, and agent workflows. Systems and skills live on their own pages.

A 5-layer planning framework. Each layer zooms one level deeper: from business problem to verification checklist.
2026-02 5 layers Planning
Knowledge Pyramid
A 9-layer research framework that builds knowledge from basic definitions to expert analysis. Each layer builds on all previous ones.
2026-02 9 layers Research
Source-backed Synthesis
A framework for turning scattered sources into a grounded conclusion with provenance, confidence, and follow-up gaps.

Proof-first Delivery
A delivery framework where work is not done until it has evidence: checks, browser proof, live URLs, or concrete output.

Vault-first Operating Model
A framework for keeping Markdown, schema, validation, provenance, and human-readable context as the durable source of truth.
