Frameworks

Structured ways of reading a claim before accepting it. Each framework starts from a single question and offers a discipline for answering it.

Framework

The AI–Sustainability Paradox

What does the net effect of a given AI system look like once its downstream gains and its infrastructure costs are booked against the same accounting boundary?

A framework for reading claims about AI's role in sustainability by forcing them onto a single, auditable ledger.

Framework

The Washing Economy Test

Is this claim priced against the action it invokes, or is it priced against the appearance of that action?

A four-part check for reading corporate transformation claims — green, AI, judgment, upskill, narrative — against the cost of the action they name.

Framework

Commitment Debt Audit

If we treat every pledge as a promissory note, what is the outstanding balance — and who is the counterparty entitled to enforce it?

A framework for reading COP outcomes, corporate net-zero plans, and ESG pledges as an accumulating balance sheet rather than a series of announcements.

The Signal Briefing

Signal, not noise.

Every month, a carefully filtered briefing on artificial intelligence, sustainability, institutional trust, and the future of human judgment — drawn from global reports, research, and emerging debates.
