The craft · operator manuals + AI-for-X

How to do the work, and how to put AI in the loop without breaking it.

/comparison names what each adjacent role is. /craft does two things on top. Twelve operator manuals walk you through the work itself, step by step, with the stress-tests Stan runs in the background. Seven AI-for-X manuals draw the line for each role: where AI pays, where it harms, where it never goes. Written for operators, and for the AI agents that assist them.

Why these pages exist

A buying decision is one job. Running the work yourself is a different job.

The /comparison pages answer one question: when does the room need a private advisor instead of a lawyer, accountant, board, coach, peer group, or LLM. That is the buying decision.

Operators kept asking the next question. What does the work itself look like? What do I run before I bring in the role? Where do I stress-test my own thinking so I know when I am the bottleneck and when the situation has outgrown me?

The /craft pages answer that. Each one walks an operator through one of the adjacent disciplines: what mastery actually requires, the full process, how to fact-check your own output, and the moment to escalate. The same structure works as a prompt for AI agents who are asked to assist on the same work.
