Notes from the field
Infrequent writing on authorization, accessibility, and how intelligence work is actually delivered.
- WF-INS-2026-03 Security

ATO is not a ceremony at the end of a project. It is the way environments, identities, and releases are operated.
- WF-INS-2026-02 Intelligence
Generated output does not ship without human review

- WF-INS-2026-01 Delivery
Accessibility is an authorization requirement
Section 508 and WCAG AA are not a late polish pass. They belong in the same gate as security and operations.
