Work
Products, research, and interactive pieces built to make invisible problems visible.
A mix of research platforms, narrative experiments, and visual systems that map semantic drift and operating model failure modes.
Research & Platforms
Flagship research and product work.
Beyond The Alignment
Beyond The Alignment is part research lab, part tooling, and part offering that supports the work at The Jambot. We study patterns like the Innovation Tax, the Iron Square, and the $2.30 threshold where maintenance outpaces innovation.
Product Operating Models
Where semantic drift compounds — how meaning is lost at every handoff from customer insight to shipped feature.
Research Artifacts
Analyses and visual reports from the BTA lab.
BTA Next.js Analysis
A forensic look at the Next.js ecosystem — where complexity and maintenance costs hide.
BTA Lab Report
Patterns in delivery performance, maintenance burden, and semantic drift across modern stacks.
Argo Data Story
A visual narrative of the Argo ecosystem and its operational implications.
Ontology Exploration
An interactive D3 ontology visualization of workflow automation and coordination systems.
Graphic Narratives & Interactive Pieces
Visual systems and narrative experiments.
Spiders and Rubber Bands
Two metaphors for staying sensitive as systems scale: the spiderweb as attention surface, the rubber band ball as accumulated pressure. An interactive essay on sensory debt and signal discipline across AIOps, product, and security.
BDIA Concept Map
Thirty-seven data architecture concepts mapped by pace layer, coupling, and failure mode. An orrery for thinking through system design decisions — each concept surfaces the trade-off it forces.
Coherence by Design
Four frameworks for navigating organizational transformation: diagnostic lenses, pace layers, risk patterns, and the path forward. An interactive toolkit for practitioners managing the tension between autonomy and coherence.
Lazy AI: People Have Codes
Your customers aren't personas. They're characters with codes — forged by experience, invisible from the outside, and governing every decision they make about your product.
The Unreliable Narrator
A scroll-based narrative experience demonstrating how engineering artifacts act as unreliable narrators — producing confidence without shared reality.
The Unscouted Variable
What sports analytics revolutions reveal about the metric nobody's tracking in software engineering.
Platform Ontology
An interactive ontology map of platform concepts and their relationships, built to make semantic alignment visible.
The Map Is Not the Territory
An interactive scrollytelling guide to how modern applications and platforms come together.
Agents Considerations
Wall-E and the problem of literal agents — an interactive essay on what happens when autonomous systems execute directives without updated context.
Agent Capability Heatmap
29 platform capabilities. Three agent modes. One question: is your documentation clear enough for agents to act safely? An interactive assessment tool with the Wall-E / EVE / Captain framework.
Context Collapse
How shared understanding deteriorates across teams — and the structural patterns that accelerate it.
Failure Modes
Interactive animated patterns of semantic drift — how small definition gaps compound into systemic failure.
