## Entries

### Evidence-bounded public work

Public work proof fails when case studies invent metrics or borrow uncleared identities — publish one major artefact plus factual perimeter, or keep the project set empty.

### Acceptance criteria are part of the interface

Describe completion through observable behaviour, useful recovery and a small set of reviewable checks.

### The website is a renderer, not the source of truth

Entities are validated once, relationships resolved once, and every public representation is compiled from that graph — the website is one renderer among several.

### Four pillars of a machine-surface score

Findability, Quotability, Structural integrity and Trust form a bounded vocabulary for deterministic public diagnostics — a score summarises evidence; it does not replace it.

### Typography as interface architecture

How scale, measure, role and responsive composition turn typography into interface structure rather than surface styling.

### Design engineering without the handover

Why strategy, interface, implementation and verification stay in one accountable thread—and where that model fits.

### Why machine-readable architecture is not structured data alone

A machine-readable system depends on crawl access, semantic structure, entity coherence and operational evidence—not JSON-LD in isolation.

### Designing deterministic website diagnostics

How bounded checks, inspectable evidence and transparent scoring produce diagnostics that remain useful after the headline score.

### Authority, execution and evidence in operational AI systems

A practical separation between deciding what may happen, executing bounded actions and proving the resulting state.

### Choose the smallest useful agent workflow

A practical way to separate predictable work from decisions that need interpretation, then add coordination only where it helps.

### Private networking for agent systems

Define the connections an agent needs, control outbound access and verify the boundaries between environments.
