AI · STRUCTURAL CONTROL · HUMAN JUDGMENT

Structural intelligence
for the AI economy.

I publish AI at Altitude, created the AI Structural Control Index, and lead Amphora Analytics.

My work examines who controls AI infrastructure, where economic power accumulates, and how organizations preserve human judgment as machines become more capable.
