A counter-architecture
for human agency

Most people working on AI study the machine. I study what happens to us in front of it. My work is about the second before you let a system decide for you, and what we teach it in that second.

Speaking

Keynotes and lectures on human judgment in machine-speed systems, for universities, institutions and companies.

Talks are built for the room, not delivered from a shelf. They open on a real scene and end with something the audience can act on the following morning.

The Pause Protocol

A workshop for teams who are delegating faster than they are deciding.

Maven runs a thousand decisions an hour. Three point six seconds per decision. That is not a military problem, it is an architecture, and the same architecture is now in the tools on your desk.

The Pause Protocol puts friction back where the judgment should be. It is orientation, not compliance: nobody leaves with a checklist, everybody leaves knowing where their own decision actually happens.

Currently in pilot across multiple contexts.

One to one

Forty-five minutes to build your own thinking system with AI.

For people who use these tools every day and can feel their own judgment thinning out. We look at what you are actually delegating, and we put back what should not have left.
