Worth your time.
Tools for thought
Bush, Engelbart, Victor, Luhmann, Clark & Chalmers. This is why I don't believe in SOP documents nobody reads. Retrieval-based learning and distributed cognition are the reason my systems put the right thing in front of you at the moment of decision, rather than filing it where you'll never look.
Methods
Zettelkasten, MOCs, progressive summarisation. Practical structure for the part of a business that lives in someone's head — the part that's genuinely hard to hand over.
Knowledge tools
Eighteen tools evaluated on one question: when the vendor disappears or changes its pricing, do you still have your knowledge? That test decides what I install in a client's business.
AI augmentation
The agent and LLM layer I actually deploy. Fourteen tools, tested — including the ones I decided against and why.
Public brains
Prior art in publishing a body of knowledge instead of hoarding it. This page is built on what that reading taught me — the same pattern works for any business that wants its expertise to compound instead of walking out the door.
