// How We Work
The Process
Seven Workshops + Custom Architecture · Tiered Pricing · Full Adversarial Pipeline
Send the document. Tell me what worries you. I'll confirm the scope, the tier, and the turnaround before any work begins. No ambiguity. No surprises. Minimum engagement $1,500. No discounts. No exceptions.
01
Submit
You send the document and state your primary concern or the specific adversary you are worried about.
02
Scope
I review the artifact, confirm the correct service tier, and provide a fixed-price invoice with a delivery date.
03
Execute
Upon payment, the pipeline begins. You receive the Findings Register and resolution text on the agreed date.
The five foundational stages every engagement passes through. Each stage is a discrete workshop with its own instruments, its own output, and its own handoff to the next.
◈
Workshop 01
Foundry
Grounding. The document is received and the ground truth ledger is opened. Every claim must be tied to the document's own text. No external assumptions. No invented mechanics.

Workshop 02
Anvil
First attack. Frameworks loaded: OCTOPUS, PDE, PROPORTION, EPE, TDAF. Every clause tested. Every assumption surfaced. Undefined terms flagged. Missing enforcement named.

Workshop 03
Crucible
Independent attack. Three new frameworks. Different lens. The document is attacked from a completely different direction. No conceptual echo allowed — new findings must be new.

Workshop 04
Temper
Negation testing. Findings are attacked by their own system. Weak findings are killed. Strong findings survive. Only survivors move forward.

Workshop 05
Resolution
Fix architecture. Every surviving finding gets ready-to-insert resolution text. The Immunization Node is named — the fix that makes the failure impossible to reassert.
Protocol v3.3ITI v0.1DTE v1.1CUA-SPEC v0.2Advocatus Diaboli v0.9
For organizations that need their own sovereign red-team pipeline or a custom analytical framework built from scratch. Scope, architecture, scoring methodology, and epistemic tagging protocol tailored to your specific document ecosystem. You own the framework outright. (Scoped and priced as a custom enterprise engagement.)

The AION Build
Custom instrument design and adversarial testing. The output is a production‑ready diagnostic stack for your specific document ecosystem, built to survive misuse and edge cases.
PROTOCOL v3.3PDE v0.6PROPORTION v1.2.2Custom Instrument Stack
Available on higher tiers (Gauntlet & Leviathan). These two workshops transform a structural audit into a scored, externally proven certification.
⊢
Workshop 06 — Higher Tiers
FORGE
Certification. Numerical certainty scoring via Polymath Council. Full 11-axis EV scoring. Uq and Cq governance modifiers. Dual Convergence Gate with Cq-adjusted validity threshold. FORGE Badge and Consumer Guidance Action (PROCEED / HUMAN_REVIEW / BLOCK).

Workshop 07 — Highest Tier
Gauntlet
External hostile proof. 15-role rejection council attacks the certified document. Quote verification against primary sources. External claims verification. Verdict: INSTALL / CONDITIONAL / REJECT / CONDEMN. Revision pass after each Reject.
