Decision Architecture
The core of my work: a thesis on the structural design of decision-making, together with the software and instruments that make it executable.
The model runs
Organisational theory has a recurring weakness: it cannot be run. This one can. Fulcrum scores any organisation's structural health deterministically from 0 to 100: there is no randomness, so two people with the same model get the same number and every claim can be checked by anyone with the tool.
Typical organisation archetypes collapse as they grow. The constraint is real; no amount of design abolishes it.
Well-designed archetypes under that same growth degrade gently instead, because they hold no concentration for the model to price.
On the enterprise archetype, adding one approval layer costs more than the strongest repair available to it earns back.
The median best local move dwarfs the best whole-organisation move, which is why the tool lets you drill into a section and work its own move space.
Each of these is a measured result rather than an assertion; the figures behind them are published where they are produced rather than restated here: Fulcrum's own pages carry the scores, the deltas and the seeds that reproduce them. The claims are falsifiable by design: model a realistic organisation in which adding an approval layer improves structural health and the framework is wrong in a way anyone can inspect.
Fulcrum
The model made executable. A chess-like board that scores organisational structure and valuates every move, from blunder to great; its guide plans every level of a six-thousand-person enterprise at once, across every processor core, then composes the leaf repairs into an honest whole-organisation climb.
LatencyLab
A design-time latency simulator for event-driven systems. Deterministic and seeded, it prices the cost of structure before it hardens.
