Businesses are simultaneously perception systems and specification systems. We publish open-source research frameworks for both sides.
Spectral Brand Theory models how brands are perceived — eight perceptual dimensions, observer-specific spectral profiles, math-hardened validation, an AI-native analytical pipeline. Organizational Schema Theory models how businesses are specified — a reverse-design TDD methodology where customer experience goals are acceptance tests and each operational layer validates the layer above it.
SBT is the view from outside. Orgschema is the view from inside. Neither alone is complete.
| Repo | What it is |

The same "specify before you collapse" principle applied to people. Traditional CVs are fixed low-dimensional projections. Activity Specifications preserve the full-dimensional action profile and re-project onto each context on demand.
