Frameworks
A framework here isn't a diagram for a slide. It's a rule set I actually run engagements against, written down precisely enough that you can hold me to it — and precisely enough that a machine can cite it. Each one is versioned and carries a term code, because a definition that quietly changes isn't a definition.
The Rural Mountain Town AI Constraint Stack
Infrastructure gates viability. Talent access sets the ceiling. Seasonality sets the calendar. Three layers, assessed in that order, or the recommendation looks fine in Denver and fails in Crested Butte.

The Gunnison Valley AI Readiness Framework
Operational fit, data sufficiency, and implementation realism, assessed before any tool gets a name. Three components, six invariants, five metrics, and "not yet" as a legitimate answer.

The Outcome-First AI Adoption Framework
Name the outcome, map the workflow gap, then pick the tool — in that order. Three stages, six invariants, and five metrics. "No tool needed" is a valid result.

The Above the Noise GEO Framework
How to structure content so generative engines can find, quote, and cite it: concept origination, structured markup, and answer-kit deployment.
