Guides

How to run bots
inside an organization.

Evergreen explainers on the parts of this that are genuinely new: writing an org chart as code, deciding which actions need a human, keeping a trail that survives the argument, running the whole thing on a box you own, and using a persona library for research.

Each guide carries the date it was last reviewed. The addresses are undated on purpose: a guide is corrected in place rather than republished, so a link you save today keeps pointing at the current version.

Synthetic respondents vs real people

Synthetic respondents are research subjects played by a model. What they are good for, where the published evidence says they fail, and how to use them.
